formbuilder - change sending email in contact form

Post by yaginuk »

Hi,

I need help with adding / customizing formbuilder please.
I have created a contact form which works fine, but i want it to send an email to me from my site but using the contacts email address with a predefined subject.

Reason
So i can set some email rules defined using the subject header


cheers

And what is your problem? This is probably the most used setup I know of.

Use 'Email "From Address" Field' where visitor types his email address.
Optional use 'Email "From Name" Field' where visitor types his name.
Use '*Email Results to set Address(es)' field to set target address and mail template (Advanced Settings tab). Although you need to fill in a Senders address, it will use the address of the 'Email "From Address" Field'.

You need to test this of course as it might be possible that your hosting provider does not allow to send email on behalf of someone else (which you're actually doing).
