Follow these steps to learn how to send emails.

Step 1: Set Up Email Notifications

If you would like to send your contact form via email to notify someone of a form submission (admin for example), then customize the email notifications found in the Main Settings Content tab of the Form Module. See detailed descriptions below and note that you will need an SMTP to ensure that the form is emailed. Please click HERE for more information on an email SMTP.

Step 2: Email Notifications Options

Email Subject: Write an email subject or use the data from an input field using the ID. For example, if you have a name Input field with ID = name you could add %%name%% to define the email subject as the user's name.
Email Template: Here you can define the custom pattern for the email Message. Fields should be included in the following format %%field_id%%. For example, if you want to include the field with id = phone and field with id = message, then you can use the following pattern: My message is %%message%% and phone number is %%phone%%.
