  • Great stuff.

    Good timing for me as I’m just setting up with Capsule CRM. This takes a bit of hassle out of my forms!

    Thanks

  • Benefit is now customer end of duplicate form no longer needs to see comma seperated multiple emails on the To section, only their own and the Reply To email.
    Nice Work. Thx.

  • Are you able to use the form tags in the CC/BCC field? So for instance, if I wanted to send a confirmation email to two different email addresses submitted through the form?

  • @Margie Not at this time–sorry about that! You can CC a known email address on a Confirmation Email to an email entered in your form, but we don’t have a built-in way to CC an email address that’s entered in a second email field.
