When someone has filled out the form, we can set it so we will receive a notification when form has been successfully submitted. So you don't have to repeatedly check the entries in form over and over again.In addition, we can also configure notification to people who submits our form.
In this article, we will explain how to configure notifications for your forms.
- First, you should go to your site dashboard , clicking on Forms on the left sidebar menu, and then search which form want to configure. in my case, i want to set the notification on the lets-connect form, so when client submits that form, a notification will sent to client email.
- Next step, hover your mouse over your desired form (1), click on Notifications (2).
- Now you will see a list of all notifications that exist for that form. By default, there should already be a single notification that sends the submissions to the admin email address within your WordPress installation. To add a new notification, click the Add New button.
- Enter a name for your notification. No need to worry about the name, because its just to identify the notification, any unique name will be fine
- Next, you will see a Send To field. This field let you determine how the message is sent.
The options available are the following:- Enter Email: You can entry a single email address that all notifications for this form will be sent to.
- Select a Field: This option will allow you to send the notifications based on the contents of an email address field in the form. (in my case, I use this option, because I want automatically sent to someone who fills my form)
- Configure Routing: This option will allow you to send the notification to different locations based on the options that the user selects in the form.
- Enter Email: You can entry a single email address that all notifications for this form will be sent to.
- Next, you must configure From Name field. When a notification email is sent, Name in this fill will be displayed as the sender. Here, you can set this to something static (your name), or dynamically generate that data.
if you want the name field from the form to be used as the From Name in the notification, click on the merge tag icon to the right of the field, and click on the field that you are using for the name. - Next, is the From Email field. This is the email address that is displayed as the sender when receiving the notification. You may set this as a static email address, or select the field in which you want to be used as the send email address by clicking on the merge tag icon to the right of the field.
- Reply-To field it set to make different reply email address. This can take a static email address, or use merge tags by clicking on the icon to the right of the field.
- The BCC field will allow you to set an email address in which the notification email will be copied to. This is useful if you have an individual that wants to receive all notification emails when sending to multiple people.
- The most important part of the notification is the Subject and Message fields. in this part, you have to fill the content you want to send to the client email. can be as a thank you email, notification email if the form was submitted, or file download link if you want to share the catalog file etc. you can also use static message, message that containing the form content. in my case, I want to make thank you page with downloadable pdf in the message, with dynamically generated content form her form filled.
- If you want to disable the automatic formatting of the message, uncheck the Disable Auto Formatting check box.
- Just like confirmations support conditional logic, notifications support conditional logic as well. If you select the option to enable conditional logic here, you can then configure your conditions.
