Dynamic fields in email

Hello,

I have to be able to send email with some information taken from the compiled form, but this does not seem to work ....

I insert

"Dynamic From name" input_text_4 {} {} input_text_3
"Dynamic From Email" {} input_text_6

But nothing the email arrives with default parameters ... where am I wrong?

Hi LordSamuel,

If you are using the standard Email action then there is no need for {} - just use the input name.

You can't use two inputs in the From Name box. Please see this FAQ for a way round this.

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.
