Configure Email2

Email2 is very useful. For example, it could be a confirmation email received by your site’s visitor – immediately after he sent a form on your site.

To create one, go through the same process as above for Email.

Note: In the ‘To’ field you should input the shortcode located in the advanced tab of the email field [field id=”email”].

Tip: You can personalize the confirmation email by using the submitter’s first name (‘Howdy [field id=”name”]’).

Here there is an example how to build the entire email content using HTML:

<p>
     <p>You got a new message!</p>
</p>
<p>
     <p>Username: [field id="name"]<br />
</p>
<p>
     <p>Email:  [field id="email"]<br />
</p>
<p>
     <p>Phone:  [field id="tel"]<br />
</p>
<p>
     <p>Message: [field id="message"]</p>
</p>
<p>
     <p>Don’t forget to call them back soon :) </p>
</p>

Note: Only shortcodes located in the advanced tab of the form fields widget can be used. You cannot use shortcodes from anywhere else here. Adding other shortcodes from other plugins or elsewhere will cause a server error message. The shortcode needs to be written exactly as it appears in the form field’s advanced tab.
