Hello
My discovery after losing 3hours+ on a strange bug in formit. I had 2 forms on one page for a hotel. One simple contact form, and another "booking" form.
Both forms had an email field. So to help formit work properly I have changed all the name fields in the second form (as someone suggested) so for example. "firstname" field in first form vs "firstnameb" in another.
And this is strange: when I have changed email name in the other form to emailb - formit started to behave anormally. It was sending the form but redirect and autoresponder didnt work no more. I first thought I have some subtle error on the form that throws formit offbalance, maybe some divs intertwined with inputs.
Checked everything! Yet it didnt work. Then I duplicated one working form to a fresh document and then I found this.
the email field for formit has to have name="email" ALWAYS. if you do smth like this input name="address" id="address" type="email" IT WONT WORK!
At least I didn't find a workaround.
Best regards

I think this is the code in the FormIt email hook that's causing that:
$emailFrom = !empty($fields['email']) ? $fields['email'] : $this->modx->getOption('emailsender');
It shouldn't be too difficult to make the field name a property for the FormIt snippet tag. I think this would work:
Replace the line at the top with these two lines:
$emailFromField = $modx->getOption('emailFromField', $this->formit->config, 'email', true);
$emailFrom = !empty($fields[$emailFromField]) ? $fields[$emailFromField] : $this->modx->getOption('emailsender');
