Mail Send Button

How to send an email manually before final form submission in ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue occurs when the mail action is set to send automatically, but the user wants to trigger it with a button or checkbox instead.
Add the email action to the specific page or event where you want it to send, and use a conditional element like a checkbox to control when the email is triggered.

Hi there,
is it possible to create a send mail" button before submit? I use the mail action and it works, but I don't want to send mails automaticaly, just if you click the "send" button.
Thanks

Hi Breakbeatz,

You can add a 'Send Email' checkbox and then conditionally send the email after the form is submitted.

Which version of ChronoForms are you using?

Hi Bob,

thanks for you answer!
I use CF 4.
I think its more practically to use a button, but how I will implementate a checkbox to send a mail? Its an multipage-form, on the first side you fill in the mailadress, on the second page theres a summary of you fom-input, which I would send by mail if I press the button (or even the checkbox), on the third page is an contract and the final submit.
I need to mail it before I submit final.

Hi Breakbeatz,

Just add your email action in any page/event you prefer and it will be sent at this step!
