Hello,

I have a form on my web site www.savannahinvestmentproperties.com that sends me an email whenever someone clicks "submit". But, I would also like to send them an email thanking them and letting them know we will be in touch with them shortly.

How do I do that?

Thanks,

Rob Caldwell

Hello,
You can have the confirmation page they are sent to after they submit the form giving that message which will be easier than having an email sent.

Not sure how to do that. Could you expand? I am a self taught Front Pager! lol

Thanks,

Make a page with your thank you message saying you will get back to people. Save it as "thankyou.htm" or whatever you want ..... go to your form, right click inside the form and select form properties .... click on the "options" button at the bottom and select the tab for "Confirmation ....." now browse to the page you just saved.

Publish .... when someone submits the form they will now be taken to that thank you page you just created.

Additionally, your custom confirmation page could include the content of the form submission (definitely helpful for order forms) along with a print button so they can retain their input.

Example Here (http://frontpageforms.com/confirmation_page.htm).

I didn't include a print button on my example, but Here (http://personalweb.about.com/od/copypastejavascripts/a/404_3scripts_3.htm) is a great little canned script I like a lot (if you ever need one).

Without somesort of scripting or begging the host to channel form submissions to an autoresponder, sending a copy to them isn't possible.

One of the problems with the FP form handler, is that the submission is coming from the site so an autoresponder sends it back to the issuing email address at your site.
