Shortcodes in Contact form

Stephen Sessions

Hello,

It should be possible to use the shortcodes of form inputs in:

Email To
Subject
From Email
From name
Reply To
CC, BCC
Meta Data

Clients want to hit "reply" to an email received from a form, using the email inputted in the form by the customer.

This should be a priority.

  Hi,

  Could I ask why do you want to add these details in the template of the form if all of them are added and set by the user? If the user will want to reply, these details will not fill automatically in the send email. 
  Thanks!

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  If a customer named Bobby Bob with email bobby@bobby.com fills out my contact form, I want the email notification I receive to be from 'Bobby Bob' with 'from email' bobby@bobby.com.
  
  Otherwise, all the emails I receive from the contact form have the same name and same email.

  Hello, is possible now? I read this article: https://support.brizy.io/hc/en-us/articles/360043766792-Email-notification-via-SMTP

  But it only solves the appearance of the template. Unfortunately, it does not work in the Reply-to field (in SMTP type settings). Alternatively, please write how to do it so that he can write directly to the entered e-mail in the form. Thanks a lot.

  Hi,

  Unfortunately, at the moment, when is used the Email Notification method, the Contact Form can't be added shortcodes and also it isn't possible to take automatically the email of the sender to send him the reply. If you need a bit complex email system, I can recommend using one of the Form integration we have added for the Contact Form element.

  Thank you!

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Hi,

  @Stephen, yes, we have added this suggestion to the Feature request list and our team are investigating it. At the moment we didn't release it and we don't have an ETA for it. Unfortunately, I can't promise that it will be released soon because we have other features in the "Progress" and "Next to do" list we have been working on for a long time.

  Thank you!

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Hi,

  @Jan, thank you too. In these articles you can find how you can connect the Contact form with a Form Integration we added.

  Let us know if we can help you with something else!

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Another vote here for allowing dynamic shortcode information submitted in the contact form to be used in the form fields. Mainly the email address being set as "reply to" as suggested above. This is a very basic capability of most things that call themselves a "contact form." At present Brizy's default form is really a notification form or lead generator or something else.
  
  It would be great to not have to install a separate form plugin or app integration to have this contact form functionality.
