Processing an existing form

To use an existing form on your website with our service, you need to:

You can register for our service from the Sign Up link above (it only takes a moment). Once you've created an account, log in to the User Panel and you will see a table containing your first form. Click on the "Sample Form Code" link, then click on the "How to use your own Form Code" link. This will take you to a page that shows you the additional code you need to add to your form so that it can be used with our service.

You will need to change the <form> tag of your form, to this:

<form action="https://formtoemail.com/user_forms.php" method="post">

You will need to add these hidden inputs to your form code:

<input type="hidden" name="user_id" value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX">

<input type="hidden" name="form_id" value="X">

NOTE: The user_id and form_id values (indicated above by X) will automatically be coded into the code snippets for you in the User Admin Area.

Open up your form page in a text or HTML editor and make the above changes. Save the page and upload it to your webspace.

That's it! Your form will now be fully working through our service.

By default, the form will send an email to the email address shown in the User Panel. This is the email address you entered when you registered. You can change this (and other form settings) in the edit configuration page of the form.
