   Hi, all!

   I would like the form to send a copy of the form to the sender. Any suggestions?

   Hi there!

   At this moment, there is no built-in feature to do this yet.
   However, with a bit of customization, we could do this.

   Here's how to do it.
   1) Get the email field name which you want the email being sent to. View source on your HTML form code. In this example, my email field name is element_3

   2) Edit includes/helper-functions.php. Around line 454, you'll find this code:

   $mail->Send();
   $mail->ClearAddresses();

   Now, right under those code, add this code:

   if(function_exists("form{$form_id}_hook_email")){
   	$carbon_email = call_user_func("form{$form_id}_hook_email",$table_data);
   	if(!empty($carbon_email)){
   		$mail->AddAddress($carbon_email);
   		$mail->Send();
   	}
   }

   3) Edit hooks/custom_hooks.php. Add this code inside of it:
   

   function formXXX_hook_email($user_input){
   	$field_name = 'element_3';
   
   	if(!empty($user_input[$field_name])){
   		return $user_input[$field_name];
   	}else {
   		return true;
   	}
   }

   
   Change the XXX with your form_id number and element_3 with your field name.

   That's it.

   If those are too difficult for you, please paste me the link to your form. I'll put up the code for you.

   Ok, I've just checked your form. Your email input name is element_6

   Now, what you need to do is to paste the code as I wrote on step 2 above.
   For step no 3, use the code below:
   

   function form1_hook_email($user_input){
   	$field_name = 'element_6';
   
   	if(!empty($user_input[$field_name])){
   		return $user_input[$field_name];
   	}else {
   		return true;
   	}
   }

   
   I hope I'm being clear for you.

   If this still sounds too difficult, then mail me your FTP login information (send it to customer.service [at] appnitro.com). I'll update your files.

   Hmm..let me clarify this.

   So each user would receive one email only? which contain a mix of your form copy + some html?

   What kind of html?
