Email forms

Hi I purchased the new Chronoforms - but their are no documents on how to do things on this one. I know that you have documentation for the old ones but they are of no use to me. I have done a form but it doesn't work, doesn't send out the emails. Can you please provide detail description of how to put in dynamic email fields, where you find this the e.g: name (should be a valid form field name, check your form fields names under the field settings) because I insert this in the area input_text_1 and it doesn't work for sure. The email is enabled.

Hi jodiewere,

Well, you have the right answer if you've put input_text_1 in the box and that is giving a valid email address.

What exactly isn't working?

Bob

PS I'd be happy to start writing some documents if I wasn't spending too many hours answering forum posts :-(

Hi I final worked it out after reading alot on the forums.

I didn't realise you had to fill out the area under

Email - #1
Templates

<p>Name = {input_text_0}</p>
<p>Email = {input_text_1}</p>
<p>Phone No = {input_text_2}</p>
<p>Type of Enquiry = {input_select_9}</p>
<p>Your Message = {input_textarea_10}</p>
<p>Submit = {input_submit_11}</p>

Hi There!

If you fill that template, the form will send the message to a dynamic email address? But where you put the dynamic Email address? I mean the name of the dynamic email field.

Hi Vollover,

The template content has nothign to do with where the email is sent.

The Dynamic Email setup options are drag and drop elements in ChronoForms v3; and on a Dynamic Tab in the Email setup in ChronoForms v4. In both cases you need to put the name of the input that will have the email address in it.

You should also add validation to make sure that the input value is a valid email address.
