Sending a "Thank you" e-mail to the form submitter


We've already sent e-mails to the administrator with the form information in it. Sometimes you also want to thank the form submitter too. These e-mails seem to fall into two broad groups — confirming the details on the submitted form, and simpler messages that say "thanks" with maybe a little extra info.

ChronoForms will do either (or a combination) quite happily. Here you are going to see how to create an e-mail from the second group.

How to do it...

  1. 1. We'll use the same form again. Go into the ChronoForms Form Manager, open up newsletter_signup in the Form Editor, and go to the Setup Emails tab. Now click the envelope icon to create a new e-mail setup.

  2. 2. A new pink workspace opens up at the bottom of the screen. This works in the same way as the first one. We can drag elements on there and ChronoForms will "fill in the blanks" when the form is submitted, and send a second e-mail.

    Note

    You can keep on adding e-mail setups here though it...
