In teh Umbracio Contour form workflow, how can I send an email to the person who filled out the form? In other words, in the Contour UI, in the "receiver email" field, how to I refer to the email field in the form the user filled out?
In essence, you access it using the field label, in lower case, with all spaces and secial characters removed. So for example "Email Address" as a form label would become: {emailaddress}.
This will work for text fields and textareas etc, there appear to be issues using this syntax with dropdown lists though.
Workflow: Sending an email to the User
Hi,
In teh Umbracio Contour form workflow, how can I send an email to the person who filled out the form? In other words, in the Contour UI, in the "receiver email" field, how to I refer to the email field in the form the user filled out?
Thanks,
Garrett
If they filled in the form, then you can reference the field in the email using the bracket syntax detailed on page 13 of the contour documentation:

Hope that's useful!

Indeed it was! {email} works like a charm. Thanks very much!
