In this article, we will be going over the Email Notifications settings that can be found in the form settings.
These settings control what emails are sent out to the Admin and Members/Users when a form on the site is submitted or saved.
Inside the Form Manager, EDIT a custom form:
The option to edit the Email Notifications only appears in custom forms.
When the form opens, select "EDIT FORM SETTINGS":
User Notifications
Email User After Submission
If enabled, an email will be sent to the user after submitting the form.
This will only work if the following field is added to the form, which comes by default in the Contact Us, Coming Soon, and Report This Post (add-on) forms.
Variable: inquiry_email
** This field is not necessary for Listing (Contact Details, Additional Details, About) or Post Type (Properties, Articles, Classifieds, etc) forms. The reason is that the member does not need an email notification if they just filled out the form for a post they want to publish. **
The Admin of the site would be the only one that needs the notification that the form has been filled out. The setting for this is explained below.
The Newsletter and Get Matched forms will automatically send out emails to the submitter, this is hardcoded in the system code.
The Get Matched form also has its own notification settings:
Leads » Lead Settings » Receiving Direct Leads Settings
Lead Settings » Receiving Indirect Leads (Automatic Lead Matching)
Leads » Lead Settings » Additional Notifications Settings
