Formit - Custom hook - fire email

I think your best bet is to get the data with $hook->getValue() in the custom redirect hook and save it as variables in the $_SESSION array.

$_SESSION['email'] = $hook->getValue('email'); /* (off the top of my head. May not be quite correct) */

Then you can retrieve the values in a snippet on page A or page B (using a Register preHook on page B to set the placeholders):

$email = $_SESSION['email'];

You could also use FormItRetriever, but I think the $_SESSION approach is a lot easier to implement.

Sending an email is pretty straightforward. There's example code at the end of this page.

Bob - Using QuickEmail snippet - can I define a Chunk to use for the message body of the email? I need to pass PHP variables into it and mix it with some plain HTML elements...?

You don't need to use the snippet, just the code at the end. BCC should work fine.

I think this is what you need:

$modx->mail->address('bcc', '[email protected]');

$props = array(
    'debug' => '0',
    'hideOutput' => '0',
    'message' => $FailEmailMessage,
    'subject' => 'Email title',
    'to' => '[email protected]',
    'bcc' => '[email protected]',
    'fromName' => 'Dave',
    'emailSender' => '[email protected]',
    'replyTo' => '[email protected]',
    'html' => '1',
    'failureMessage' => '<br /><h3 style="color:red">Mail Failed</h3>',
    'successMessage' => '<br /><h3 style ="color:green">Mail reported successful</h3>',
    'errorHeader' => '<br />Mail error:',
    'smtpErrorHeader' => '<br />SMTP server report:',
);

$output =  $modx->runSnippet('QuickEmail',$props);
return $output;
