Automatically sends an email to those who fill out the form

riga75 08 Jun, 2011
I would like to send an email to the person who completed the form "custom", for example, enter:
Hello [Name],
...........................
How it works? With the old version of ChronoForm there was a section here but I do not see, thanks

Hi stefano,

It's more or less the same . . . put Hello {name} into the Email Template and use a Dynamic To Email address.

Hi Stefano,

Create two Emails by dragging over two Email actions and configure one to be sent to the admin and the other to be sent to the user.

Hi Bob,

Same problem here.
I made a perfect application form for my sport club (Sport Club with 6 sports)

I have create 2 e-mail actions.
- Send to our administration and secretary of each sport (secretary by custom code) which contains all
- Send to new member with confirmation

The first (to adminstration and secretary works, but the e-mail to member doesn't.

If have input a Thank You Message aswell, this works also perfect.

Could you please help me, I checked evrything, the fielditem etc etc.

Hi CorneS,

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look.

Thank you again, if you are in The Netherlands you get another beer from me.....

I have two emails one serving administrator of the site where I put the name set to come out the form and it works perfectly while and one that comes to the user who filled in the form of the email should go out as a name written that turns me but will continue to leave the name of the site

Hi Stefano,

By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Hi Stefano,

I strongly recommend that you do *not* use the Dynamic From Email element in your Email Setups. Using this often results in your emails being marked as spam and dropped into a spam filter. Instead use the static From Email with an address that matches the site domain name and use Dynamic ReplyTo Email for the user email. The result is the same but with a much better chance of good delivery.

Hi Stefano,

You must complete the required boxes in the Email Configuration.

There must be entries for To, Subject. From Name & From Email on either the Dynamic or the Static tab.

Entries on the Dynamic tab can only be input names from your form

I strongly recommend that you do *not* use the Dynamic From Email element in your Email Setups. Using this often results in your emails being marked as spam and dropped into a spam filter. Instead use the static From Email with an address that matches the site domain name and use Dynamic ReplyTo Email for the user email. The result is the same but with a much better chance of good delivery.

Bob,

Regarding this... Using V4 on J1.5

I strongly recommend that you do *not* use the Dynamic From Email element in your Email Setups. Using this often results in your emails being marked as spam and dropped into a spam filter.

The result is the same but with a much better chance of good delivery.



I want to send the form submitter an automatic email on success.

I've created hidden fields on the form for:

From-Name: Rashid Kotwal
From-Email: [email]rashid.kotwal@revealedresources.com[/email]

If I put these into the Dynamic Reply to name and Dynamic reply to Email respectively, the email comes from "revealedresources@www.revealedresources.com" rather than Rashid Kotwal <rashid.kotwal@revealedresources.com>

If I put these into the Dynamic From name and Dynamic From Email - the email comes from "/script@www.revealedresources.com" - neither of which is correct.

BTW, V3 worked perfectly - it's V4 I'm having issues with.

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Rashid.

Hi rkotwal,

If you want to send the user an response email then use this combination:

Dynamic To: user_email_input_name
Static Subject: Some string goes here
Static From Name: Rashid Kotwal
Static From Email: rashid.kotwal@revealedresources.com

That's all you need.

If you want an email to come to you set up so that you can reply to the user then you need this combination:

Static To: rashid.kotwal@revealedresources.com
Static Subject: Some string goes here
Static From Name: Rashid Kotwal
Static From Email: admin@revealedresources.com
Dynamic Reply To Name: user_name_input_name
Dynamic Reply To Email: user_email_input_name

Note that the Static To and Static From email addresses must be different to avoid problems.

Thanks Bob.

I hadn't realised you could actually mix and match the static and dynamic fields into an email.

Hi Rashid,

Yes, the interface isn't helpful here.

In my Email [GH] action I put both in the same box and use the {input_name} syntax for form values so that you can use e.g. [email]user@example.com[/email],{email}
