Mail Templates

Place your form somewhere on your Website. If you want to submit the form to the user, you can use your field names as placeholders. Formbuilder automatically will transform the field into the given address. For Example you can set a placeholder called %emailaddress% (where emailaddress is the name of your form field) in the To: field ("Settings" Tab of your email template).

Subject
You also may want to add some placeholder in the subject of your mail template. To do so, just add a placeholder like %emailaddress% to the subject field. They will get transformed automatically.

Available Properties

Add those properties to your mail template.

mail_successfully_sent (String|Document|Snippet)

Use the mail_successfully_sent property to define a message after the form has been successfully sent. There are three options:

String
Use a String to return a simple text like "Thank you for your message".

Snippet
Use a Snippet to return some complex html stuff.

Document
Add a Document to redirect after your form has been successfully submitted.

mail_disable_default_mail_body (Checkbox)

If the mail_disable_default_mail_body property is defined and checked, you need to add your own data to the mail template. You can use all the field names as placeholder. For example:

Hello %Text(firstname);!

Your Data:

Name: %Text(firstname);
Mail: %Text(mailaddress);

mail_ignore_fields (String)

In some cases, you don't want to send specific fields via mail. For example, if you send a copy to the user. To do so, just define the mail_ignore_fields property in your email template. Add one or multiple (comma separated) fields as string. Notice: The field name needs be identical to the field name in your form configuration.
