After saving your new form, you'll be able to modify the notifications. This would go in the Autoresponder message section.</li> <li>Custom formatted html styling for the e-mail's body Same deal as above.</li> <li>Hidden field for post title to be used in the e-mail subject and body Hidden Field has a built in option to autopopulate the default value with the Post/Page title (on the advanced tab).</li> </ul> Hop in there and start using it. You'll find that Gravity Forms is refreshingly intuitive. ;) travishines on "Creating a tell-a-friend form for every single post" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-a-tell-a-friend-form-for-every-single-post#post-8532 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 23:11:06 +0000 travishines 8532@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ A few threads came back matching "tell-a-friend", but nothing really touched on creating a form that can be used to share individual posts via email with a friend. It seems this is possible with Gravity, but I'm not quite sure how -- just getting started with the plugin. So here's what I'd like to do, and could use some help setting up. I imagine the form including: <ul> <li>Sender's name field</li> <li>Sender's e-mail field</li> <li>Recipient's name field</li> <li>Recipient's e-mail field</li> <li>Optional message from sender to recipient to be included in the e-mail body</li> <li>Hidden field with pre-written copy to be included in the e-mail body</li> <li>Custom formatted html styling for the e-mail's body</li> <li>Hidden field for post title to be used in the e-mail subject and body</li> </ul> Here's the workflow I picture: I like a post on a site and I want to share it with a friend. I see a "tell-a-friend" form below the post and I fill it in. I type my name, my e-mail address, my friend's name, my friend's e-mail address, and a message, "this is hilarious...enjoy!". I hit the "send" button and a message fades in over the form, "This post has been sent to Mike (my friend). Thanks for sharing!". In my friend's inbox is an e-mail from my address with the subject, "Travis wanted to share "Funny freaking post" with you at FunnySite. He opens it and finds a beautiful html email that greets him with, "Hey Mike, Travis liked a post called "Funny freaking post" on FunnySite and wanted to share it with you: <a href="http://funnysite.com/funny-freaking-post" rel="nofollow">http://funnysite.com/funny-freaking-post</a> We, and Travis, think you'll enjoy it! -- Hope I gave enough details without putting everyone to sleep :) FIngers crossed this is possible with Gravity forms, and hopefully it's relatively straight forward. Thanks in advance, GF crew.
