How to set up form notifications

When you have created your form you may wish to receive notifications each time someone submits a completion of it. To achieve this...

1. Go to 'Forms' in the Admin bar of the main Dashboard.
2. Hover over the form you wish to set up notifications for. Then hover over 'Settings' sub menu and click on 'Notifications'.

3. Every form, by default, has an 'Admin Notification' function which ensures that the site owner receives a notification every time a form is completed. Click on the 'Admin Notification' to edit. In the 'Send To' section you will see {admin_email} setup as default. You can remove this and add your own email addresses, each separated by commas.

For example:

lee@webdevtest.dev,lee1@webdevtest.dev,larissa@webdevtest.dev

4. You will need to configure a few different fields related to the email being sent. The first of these is the 'From Name' field. When a notification email is sent, this is the name that will be displayed as the sender. Here, you can set this to something static, or dynamically generate that data. In this example we want the name field from the form to be used as the From Name in the notification. So, click on the merge tag icon to the right of the field and click on the field that you are using for the name.
5. Next is the 'From Email' field. This is the email address that is displayed as the sender when receiving the notification. You may set this to {admin_email} or use a static email address.
6. There is also the 'Reply To' field in which the reply address may be set. This can take a static email address or use merge tags by clicking on the icon to the right of the field.
7. The 'BCC' field will allow you to set an email address in which the notification email will be copied to. This is useful if you have an individual that wants to receive all notification emails when sending to multiple people.
