eForm and how to

I had a few questions in regards to the "eForm" snippet... Im creating a form on my website to gather some basic information (First Name, Last Name, address..etc..) and then I want that information to be emailed to me as soon as the user clicks send... Im not an expert at using snippets and how to call them... I was wondering if someone could give me a basic layout of how I would set this up? Any help would be much appreciated.. Thanks!

Check out the eForm documentation. It is hidden in the assets/snippets/eform/docs/eform.htm There you will find some form examples along with complete documentation.

Thanks for the response, however, Im still a little lost. I have the chunks made and my form made as the example states, yet I cant get the info to go to my email when i click the send button on the website... What am I doing wrong? The form action is <form method="post" action="[~[id]~]"> Dont i need to put a "mailto:" in the action spot? Im sorry if this is way below the questions you normally deal with but Im really quite stuck. Thanks for any help.

If you post your snippet call and template chunk I could probably help you.

Dont i need to put a "mailto:" in the action spot?

no the email address should be in the snippet call

As per the documentation the &to parameter is where you put the email address you want the form to submit to

The form action is <form method="post" action="[~[id]~]">

What exactly happen when you click send?
BTW, action landing target should be [~[*id*]~]

I’m a newbie to MODx.
I’ve created my first website in MODx.
And I’m using eform as a contact us form.
And I need to include

First name*
Last name*
email address*
mobile number
country*
captcha*

As shown above most of the fields are compulsory but some are not like "mobile number" .
How can I manage to do it

Try the following:

The eform attribute here contains the title, the datatype and the value 1 for "required", seperated by colons ( : ).
