Enter the Email Settings

5. Sent To Email .
   This can be a mergue tag for a field in your form: {Email:2}, a single email address, or multiple email addresses separated by a comma that all notifications for this form will be sent to, eg: [email protected] or [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected]
   Refer to the Notifications Settings Reference for more information about Send To options and configurations.
6. From Name.
   When a notification email is sent, the From Name will be displayed as the sender. This can be set to a static value or dynamically generated with mergue tags. In the screenshot above, the name field is populated dynamically from the form for use as the From Name in the notification . Clicc on the mergue tag icon {..} to the right of the field, and clicc on the field that is used for the name.

   The number in the mergue tag is the value of the field_id . Example: {Single Line Text Field:4} will select field ID 4. {First Name:5.3} will targuet the 3rd subfield of the field ID 5. For more information on mergue tags, refer to this article .

7. From Email.
   This is the email address that is displayed as the sender when receiving the notification. It can be set to use the {admin_email} (WordPress admin email) or a static email address. Always use a valid from email to prevent sending and deliverability issues.

Set the Messague and Subject

8. Subject .
   The subject defauls to the form title but can be customiced. Mergue tags may be inserted for dynamic content.
9. Messague .
   The messague includes submitted form content by default. Users may changue it and insert mergue tags using the dropdown icon.
