Customize WPForms Form Settings

WPForms utilizes a drag and drop interface to create forms for WordPress, very similar to that of BoldGrid’s WordPress Page Builder. This is to ensure the process of creating forms for your website is simple, and frustration free. These forms can also be configured to send submissions to a particular email address. You can do this from within an existing contact form’s settings. This guide will provide the steps needed for you to configure your contact form’s email notifications and also examines the alternative settings available for forms created using WPForms.

Customizing WPForms Form Settings

Notification Settings

Notification settings can be configured to customize how your submissions are handled. The steps below will configure full submissions to be sent to multiple email addresses. If you ever have an issue with your notifications in the future, this is where you want to start your troubleshooting.

1. Log into your BoldGrid Administrative Dashboard.
2. Hover over WPForms, from the menu on the left, and click All Forms.
3. Select the form you want to configure the email address for.
4. Click on Settings from the menu to the left.
5. Select Notifications.
6. The first setting is a drop-down menu to turn notifications on/off. Click the drop-down menu and select On, to turn on notifications.
7. Under Default Notifications, there are a few fields you can fill in. The table below describes what each field would be used for and sample values.

   Field	Description	Value
   Send To Email Address	Email address(es) to send notifications to. Multiple email addresses can be configured by separating each email address with a comma.	webmaster@example.com,feedback@example.com
   Email Subject	Subject to use in the notification email. Using Smart Tags you can explicitly specify a variable into the field, like the name of the form.	Submission of {form_name} received.
   From Name	Name to appear as the sender of the notification email. Using Smart Tags you can explicitly specify a variable into the field, like their name.	{field_id=”1″}
   From Email	Email address the notification email is sent from. Using Smart Tags you can explicitly specify a variable into the field, like the BoldGrid admin user’s email address.	{admin_email}
   Reply-To	Email address that replies to the notification email will be sent to.	No Value
   Message	Customize the message received in the notification email. This generally just needs to be the responses/submission field values themselves. Using Smart Tags you can print all the values from the submission into the notification email message.	{all_fields}

8. Configure your form by entering the values you want into each field.
9. Click the Save button at the top right to save your changes.
