How to email form data?

hhtmp88 02 Sep, 2012
Hi all!

I want to email the form data to a dedicated email address, say "abc@gmail.com", after user click on the submit button, so:
* I add the "email" element to "On Submit"
* fill-in all the necessary info in the config (the static tab) of the email element:
==============================================
To (Required): [email]abc@gmail.com[/email]
Subject (Required): test form
From name (Required): admin
From email (Required):admin@mysite.com
==============================================
-> but after submit is click, it is redirected to the frontpage of mysite
-> and I find no new email in the mailbox of [email]abc@gmail.com[/email]

So what else should I do to make the email element works?

Thanks for any kind of help!

Hi,

You may have a problem with your form configuration, did you change the "action url" of your form ?

Where should I set the action URL?
-> I have tried to browse around every tabs of the configuration of the email element, but nothing called "action URL"!
-> I can only find one thing similar, it is "action label", but surely nothing related to "action URL"


Thanks for any kind of help!

It's under the form "Edit" page, click the form name in the forms manager to find it.

Do you have any other actions in the "on submit" ? or the "Email" action only ?
