How to send an auto response

You can send a response email to the visitor who submitted the form.

Your form should have a name and email field to collect the name and the email address from the visitor.

 

Select auto response option

In the 'Form Processing Options' page, select 'Send an auto response to the visitor who submitted the form' check box.

 

This adds a step 'Response Email' in the wizard.

 

'Configure Auto response Email' page

The 'Auto-response' page lets you edit the auto response email template.

Select the Name field from the drop down where your visitor submits her name. Similarly, select the email field where the visitor's email address is submitted.

 

Using the field values from the form in the email

You can embed the values from the form submission in the email body.

For example, if there is a field 'Name', you can have the email body as

 

Hi %Name%,

 

Thanks for the form submission.

 

Webmaster

 

While sending the auto response to a visitor who submitted his name as John, the email body will be

 

Hi John,

 

Thanks for the form submission.

 

Webmaster

 

Insert Field

Select the field that you want to embed in the email body from the drop down and press 'Insert field' button.

This inserts a code of the form %field_name% in the email body. This code is replaced by the actual value for the field from the form submission.

 

Install and Test

Once the auto-response template is configured, generate code, install the form on your web server, and test by making a sample submission.
