Mailer Adapter

Use the mailer adapter to send form submissions to an email address.

The Mailer component to your form is automatically generated upon its creation. Go to Contents from the side menu when viewing your form to see and edit it.

You can also add a Mailer to your form from the side menu via Add new..., then Mailer Adapter. The Mailer and Mailer Adapter are the same thing. 

The Mailer may seem complicated, but its function is basic. This is where you set up where the form will go once the user submits it. The three menu tabs on the screenshot below (Default, Addressing, Message) give you options for where the submitted form data will go and what will appear in the email body.

Test the Mailer

To test your mailer, follow these steps:

  1. Set up your own email as the Recipient address.
  2. Input some content in the message fields.
  3. Submit the form to yourself and see what you get in your email.
