Forward Notification With a Different Subject

  1. I have a 3rd party working on a site and they need to receive notifications from the contact forms as well. They have a lot of forms from different websites being routed to the same email address, so they need to have a subject header that is different from the subjects we are using internally.

    Is there any way to change the subject for a notification that is being forwarded to another e-mail address? If not, can you direct me to the code that would need to be modified for this to be possible?

    Thanks

    You can set the Notification Subject for each form. You can set it to any Subject line you want or you can insert tags. To do this:

    1. Go to your WP Admin Dashboard
    2. In the left Sidebar click on the "Forms" tab
    3. Then click on "Edit Form"
    4. Select the form you wish to change the Notification for
    5. At the top select the "Notifications" tab
    6. Now you can set the Subject Lines here

    Hope this help

  3. Are you using the Admin or User Notification to send the email to the 3rd party? If so you have complete control of the Subject Line by editing the Notifications for that Form as Jacques mentioned above.

    HOWEVER if you need a 3rd unique email notification you could only do this as a customization. You could use the gform_after_submission hook to write your own custom PHP that sends an email to whoever you want containing whatever message you want because you'd write the PHP to do so.
