Hello,
I do not understand when to use the static or dynamic fields.
What I want to do is create a contact form which creates an email to me and a copy to the sender (if he selects a checkbox).
My idea was that the email which is send to me comes with the email adress of the sender as From email but I think that this will not work. Is it right that I have to use the static fields for the email to me and I have to use two different email adresses (1x from and 1x to)? Or is there another way?
How do I create the copy to the sender dependend on the checkbox?
I hope that my english is good enough to understand my problem. I searched in the forum and had a look at several tutorials but I do not understand when and how to use the static and dynamic fields.

Hi Akkarin,
Static boxes use 'fixed' data like [email]'my_email@example.com[/email]' and the value is always the same.
Dynamic boxes use input names from your form and the value will come from the form data.
You can use the Dymanic Reply To Email and Reply To Name to send yourself an email. The when you click Reply the values from the form will be used.
An email conditional on a checkbox has been explained in the forums for ChronoForms v3; I'm not sure if there is an answer yet for ChronoForms v4.
