  1. Hi,

    Is it possible to customise the layout and look of the email sent from the form?

    Thanks

    You can use HTML to customize the look of the e-mail, but to do so, you can't use the {all_fields} tag, and instead have to pull in each field merge tag in your custom HTML.

  3. Thanks for the speedy response.

    Do you guys have any guides/tutorials/videos on how to get started on this?

    We don't have any tutorials currently on doing this. But you basically use very basic HTML with our drop down to embed fields into the e-mail.

  5. Most of the major newsletter providers have tutorials and tips online for creating HTML newsletters. The tips apply equally to any HTML email notifications you craft.
