LIAA - Innovative Ideas for Sustainable Communities Since 1993

The Form Component can send individual form submissions by email.  To configure who receives this email:

1. Open the Form Manager.
2. Click on a Form Component name.  The Form Preferences window appears.
3. In the Email To box, type one or more email addresses, separated by commas (avoid adding spaces between email addresses).
4. Submit the form.

Each time a completed Form is submitted, an email will be sent to each address in the Email To list.

There are some special values that you can also add to the Email To list:

• Adding [Element Name] in place of an email address will send the email to an address provided by the user filling out the Form.  For example, if you have a Form element to collect an email address from the user called "User Email", and you also want to send the email to LIAA's support email address, here is what you would type in the Email To box:
  
  support@liaa.org,[User Email]

• Adding [CCUSER] in place of an email address will send the email to the email address in the submitting user's profile, provided the user is currently logged in to the website.

You can customize the emails that are sent to users by modifying some templates on your website (if these files do not appear in the file list of your System File Editor, contact LIAA support to have them added to your site):

• form_mail_general_intro.txt provides an introduction to emails sent to specified email addresses.
• form_mail_formuser_intro.txt provides an introduction to emails sent to an email address provided by the user (the [Element Name] option discussed above).
• form_mail_ccuser_intro.txt provides an introduction to emails sent to registered users (the [CCUSER] option discussed above).

Each of these templates must be HTML text that is enclosed by paragraph tags. You may use the following replaceable values in the templates:

• [FORMNAME] is replaced by the name of the Form.
• [SITENAME] is replaced by the name of the Community Center application.
• [USERNAME] is replaced with the user's full name (only available in form_mail_ccuser_intro.txt).
• [SUMMARYURL] is replaced with a URL that displays the summary view of the Form (note that the user must have rights to view the summary).
• [RESPONSEURL] is replaced with a URL that displays the response view of the Form (note that the user must have rights to see the summary view to see this view).
