The FlexForm tag needs an action of 'email' for this. All other setting are done through the _email function. An email is send using an email template. Such an email template can be any page in the Wiki where you define the details for the email. When sending an email you need certain information: At form level means this can be set within the Form. At template level means this is set within the template. Name Type At form level At template level Mandetory To email address yes yes yes From email address no yes yes Subject text yes yes yes Content text no yes yes CC email address no yes no BCC email address no yes no Reply to email address no yes no Attachment Filepath no yes no Header Wiki Page no yes no Footer Wiki no yes no All the elements needed to send an email can be set inside the email template. You can create multiple email templates. You simply tell FlexForm what email template to use in the form. The elements that can be set at form level will override any defined elements in the template. All form elements that should be send with the email, must be defined in the email template. If you have a _field element of type text and a name of "address" and you want to send this with the email, you have to put the name of the field inside the template with a "$"-sign in front of it( in this case $address). See examples. Form Parameters to = recipients email address template = Title name of Wiki pages containing the email template subject = Subject of the email to be send Template Parameters _to = recipients email address _from = senders email address _subject = email subject _cc = email address that receives a copy of the email _bcc = email address that receives a copy of the email, but not visible to anyone else _replyto = email address used when someone replies to the send email _header = Title name of Wiki page with the email letterhead _footer = Title name of Wiki page with the email footer _html = Value can be yes or no, defaults to yes.
