You're missing some FormIt Properties (particularly &subject): https://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/formit/formit.hooks/formit.hooks.email.

That's used for the emailFrom address. Make sure it's an address on your server and that the account exists.

If it's still not sending, install the QuickEmail extra to help diagnose any problems with the email system.

Be aware that Gmail silently trashes mail from a number of hosts, so your code might be working fine.

Hi my friends. I have a similar problem with a contact form as the previous ones described here.
I have Modx installed in a localhost setting without smtp service, so I'm using Gmail.
First, I tested with QuickEmail and I had to change the prefix/port combo to 'ssl' and '465'.
After the change, QuickEmail successfully sent an test email to my Gmail account.

However, with FormIt I can't send any email using the same settings that I have in System Settings (same Gmail account and smtp settings -- I got that configuration from this thread).

I followed all the Google directions to allow other apps to access my Gmail account:

https://www.google.com/settings/u/1/security/lesssecureapps

https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?hl=en&pli=1

My code for my contact form is:

[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`email`
&emailTpl=`sentEmailTpl`
&emailSubject=`Test Message`
&emailTo=`*****************@gmail.com`
]]

<form action="[[~[[*id]]]]" id="contact-form">
                <input type="text" class="contact-info" id="contact_name" name="contact_name" placeholder="Your name" value="[[+fi.contact_name]]" />
                <input type="text" class="contact-info" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Your email" value="[[+fi.email]]" />
                <input type="text" class="contact-info" id="subject" name="subject" placeholder="Subject" value="[[+fi.subject]]" />
                <textarea class="contact-info" id="message" name="message" rows="10" placeholder="Your message">[[+fi.message]]</textarea>
                <input type="button" id="clear-fields" value="Clear fields" />
                <div class="captcha"></div>
                <input type="submit" id="send-message" value="Send your message" />
</form>

Finally, my sentEmailTpl chunk:

Message from: [[+contact_name]]<br />
<strong>[[+subject]]</strong><br />
<p>[[+message]]</p> <br />
For replying to [[+contact_name]], send an email to <a href="mailto:[[+email]]">[[+email]]</a>

Thanks a lot for your help!

It may be because Gmail doesn't like localhost for the domain or in the sender's email.

You may also be falling afoul of Gmail's stringent anti-spam system which often causes email to fail silently.

Try the QuickEmail extra to see if your mail system is working at all.

Since your form looks like a simple contact form, you might also check out the SPForm extra.
