Notifications & Emails

Notifications & Emails

OForms can send two types of emails on form submission.

Admin Notification

Sends an email to site admins (or any custom address) when a form is submitted.

Config (stored per-form):

php[
    'enabled'  => true,
    'to'       => 'admin@site.com',   // comma-separated, supports {{field_name}} tags
    'subject'  => 'New submission: {{form_title}}',
    'body'     => '{{all_fields}}',   // {{all_fields}} = table of all submitted values
    'from'     => 'forms@site.com',
    'reply_to' => '{{email}}',        // reply to submitter
]

Autoresponder (Confirmation Email)

Sends to the person who submitted the form.

Config:

php[
    'enabled'  => true,
    'to'       => '{{email}}',   // must reference an email field
    'subject'  => 'Thanks for reaching out',
    'body'     => 'Hi {{first_name}}, we received your message...',
]
