Automatically send email to people who fill up a custom form
-
When people fill up a custom form on a page/post, can we set it so that they will receive an email immediately?
Thanks

I think that this would be best achieved by running a filter when an email from your custom-form submission is received.

Having said that, an automatic response to a custom form would make a good feature request.

On second thoughts, it can’t. The email that I receive (from the custom-form submission) is emailed by my own email so if I set it to fwd an email it’s me who will receive it.

I’d suggest doing this using some outside mail program, like Mailchimp or Constant Contact. Embed it in a Google doc or something and link to it from your blog.

You could also take a look at Wufoo forms which now work here. Not sure if they can do this sort of thing or not.

thesacrepath@ Wufoo sounds promising but in my area there seems to be spammers in my area so there’s no free plan. (This sucks a little…) I’m looking for a free way.
raincoaster@ For my newsletter I’m using Mailchimp (free plan) and I’m afraid both lists in 1 account might be out of the limit and I don’t have any plan to create another email account (1) hassle (2) have to keep signing in and out of mailchimp
Is this possible though: ask them to send an email with “xxx” as the subject and add a filter (like what tandava suggested) to reply to them immediately? (I just thought of the idea)
