    Hi, it’s been awhile since I started testing out eForm, it doesn’t show any errors except that it doesn’t send emails, I tried to find some topics on the net but didn’t found anything that works for me, and maybe this forum might help me.

    • Mail function is working

    Here’s my snippet call
    [!eForm? &to=`[email protected]`&from=`Company Name`&formid=`contact_form`&tpl=`eForm_form`&subject=`A Customer Wants To Contact Us`&report=`eForm_email`&gotoid=`27`!]


    I just added the gotoid, which points to same id of the document that contains this snippet call(just saw and tried it out from a thread I saw). with or without it, it doesn’t send email.

    Just saw the following two chunks on the examples on the eForm Documentation
    here is the {{eForm_form}}
    <p class="error">[+validationmessage+]</p>
     
    <form method="post" action="[~[*id*]~]" id="EmailForm">
     
    	<fieldset>
    		<h3> Contact Us</h3>
     
    		<input name="formid" type="hidden" value="ContactForm" />
     
    		<label for="cfName">Your name:
    		<p><input name="name" id="cfName" class="text" type="text" eform="Your Name::1:" /></p></label>
     
    		<label for="cfEmail">Your Email Address:
    		<p><input name="email" id="cfEmail" class="text" type="text" eform="Email Address:email:1" /></p> </label>
     
    		<label for="cfRegarding">Regarding:
    		<p><input name="subject" id="cfRegarding" class="text" type="text" eform="Form Subject::1" /></p> </label>
     
    		<label for="cfMessage">Message:
    		<p><textarea name="message" id="cfMessage" eform="Message:textarea:1"></textarea></p>
    		</label>
     
    		<label> </label><p><input type="submit" name="contact" id="cfContact" class="button" value="Send This Message" /></p>
     
    	</fieldset>
     
    </form>


    And here is the {{eForm_email}}
    <p>A new message was sent by one of our visitors, <b>[+name+]</b>, The details is shown below:</p>
     
    <p<><b>Name:</b> [+name+] <b>Email:</b> [+email+]</p>
    <h1 style="font:100 small-caps 18px Times;">Regarding: [+subject+]</h1>
    <p><b>Message:</b><br />[+message+]</p>
     
    <p>You can use this link to reply: <a href="mailto:[+email+]?subject=RE: [+subject+]">[+email+]</a></p>


    Is there anything wrong with these snippet call/chunks? Thanks in advance

      I spent almost an hour trying to figure out why my eform wasn’t working. Turns out, the messages went to my spam folder. If you haven’t checked... make sure the messages aren’t being marked as spam.

        Why are you use &formid=`contact_form`
        but
        <input name="formid" type="hidden" value="ContactForm" />
        ?

        contact_form!=ContactForm
