Form Working?

I put the email action in the form on submit. I put some words in the template (which I thought would go to whomever completed form - i.e. like thank you for completing this form). I put my email address in the "to" which I thought meant I would get the actual form responses that someone completed and submitted. Rather I am getting the templated (i.e. thank you for completing this form) reply and not the responses of the completed forms. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I think I would almost prefer to go back to v3 - I like v4, but I don't find enough explanation for how to use it.

I would prefer to keep using v4, but need to resolve some of these issues if I can.

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi Dawn,

The Email Setups are very much like CFv3. If you want two emails - one to you and one to the User - then you need two Email Setups. The main difference is that, so far, CFv4 doesn't automatically create an Email template for you.

The problem is that I am not getting the form responses which I would have thought the "to" person should receive.

Hi Dawn,

I'm sorry I'm now confused about what you are getting.

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

You can get the form responses by typing in the field you want to see in the email template using curly brackets like this,

{firstname}
{lastname}
{email}

This will display those field names when the form is submitted.

So you can also do something like this on a thank you page as well...

Thank you {firstname} {lastname} for registiring. We have sent a confirmation to the following email address {email}.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much! That's what I needed.
