Letting the User Override email Values

You can let the user completing a mailto form override default values for the following elements:

• to email recipient(s)
• from email recipient(s)
• cc email recipient(s)
• subject line
• preamble (that is, default text)

To set up a user override for these fields, follow these steps.

1. Perform steps 1-4 in Creating a Form's Content Block or edit an existing content block.
2. Within the editor, insert an appropriate field label, such as Enter your email address.
3. Click the Text Field button ( ) from the form element toolbar.
4. The Insert Text Field window is displayed.
5. In the Name field, enter the appropriate override name.

   Name	Overrides...
   send_email	to address(es) in the generated email
   send_from	from address(es) in the generated email
   send_cc	cc address(es) in the generated email
   send_subject	subject line in the generated email
   send_preamble	preamble in the generated email

6. Enter the remaining information and click Insert to add the field to the content.

When a user is completing the form and inserts an email address into the field you inserted in Step 5, that field value is used in the email.
