Not Receiving Form Data / Which Email Goes Where?

sbrant 19 Jan, 2011
Hi All,

Very sorry to post something that is most likely a stupid mistake on my part. However - I can't find a solution and have been looking for a few hours now. I've created the form and added email addresses. Upon submit, the only email I receive is confirmation email as User. I don't receive any of the form data. Can someone explain to me what goes where? Meaning - The Dynamic To - seems to be the address that the submission confirmation goes to (user). Is the From address the form owner - where the form data is sent? Or, do I need to create onsubmit code in the Core/View Form Settings?

The test form is here: http://bawabali.com/us/help-us/volunteer-2011-form.html

Email setting through Wizard:
Dynamic To: Users email (text_33)
Subject: BAWA Volunteer Application
Fromname: BAWA Admin
FromEmail: [email]admin@bawabali.com[/email]

Form settings:
Email the results = Yes

Hi sbrant ,

There is no automatic email of the results, if you want them sent to the admin then you need to create a second Email Setup and use a To Email to send it to the admin.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. I hope my post will help others too.

Please, again, forgive my ignorance, but I am still confused. If I create another Email set up - wouldn't it also simply receive the "your form has been submitted" confirmation? I think I am missing something somewhere - I can't seem to be able to figure out how to receive the data (step 3 below) the user enters into the form.

So what I want -
1. User fills out form and clicks submit.
2. User receives a confirmation of his/her submission via "dynamic to field" which captured their email address as entered.
3. Site administrator receives all the data the user filled out in the form.

Did I miss something?

Hi sbrant,

Did you miss something? Yes, If you create a second Email Setup it has it's own Email template so it will contain whatever you put in the template. By default ChronoForms will create a template from the Form HTML.

Well, I have no idea why or how, but adding a second Email Setup does indeed work.

I'm not sure if I should start a new post on this or not. Feel free to move it if necessary, but I can't get it to send data in the email. I get the form fields. In fact, the email looks identical to the form, just no data. I also get a ton of "{This_element_has_no_name_attribute}" when in fact the elements do have name attributes.

thanks for your help.

Hi katandmouse,

Maybe your form fields names have changed, try to clean your email template and build yours instead.

Ah. Just figured it out. Your system automatically adds your form to the email template, but we have to go through it and replace input fields with field names in brackets. Now it works.
