With this hook you will use the response sent back by PayPal which includes the email address used for the payment. The email is called "payer_email" in the response from PayPal. You could then send an email to that address. This would require custom code to do it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-send-confirmation-email-based-on-paypal-transaction-email#post-51724 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 05:38:31 +0000 libertine 51724@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a simple form setup for a single product. All that shows is the Buy Now button.</p> <p>How can I send a confirmation email to the PayPal email address used during the transaction?</p> <p>At the moment when I try to setup client confirmation message it reads:</p> <blockquote><p>Your form does not have any email field. Sending notifications to users require that the form has at least one email field. Edit your form</p></blockquote>
