Custom autoreply content

This documentation page is for Quform version 1 and may not be applicable for Quform 2 click here to visit the documentation for Quform 2.

This guide is for advanced usage, you can modify the autoreply email content inside the form builder at Settings → Email → Autoreply email settings

This guide will outline how to build the autoreply email content at the PHP level, which is useful if you need to display output from from WordPress functions or variables and other complex logic in the email.

Step 1

Get the unique ID of the form, see Finding the form ID.

Step 2

Create a file named autoreply-content.php and enter the email content, in HTML format. To get access to submitted form data you will need the unique ID of each of the form elements that you want to use, see Finding the unique element ID. To find out what the return values are for different element types, see Getting form values page. You can then display the value using the code below. Replace iphorm_X_X with your form element unique ID.

<?php echo $form->getValueHtml('iphorm_X_X'); ?>
<?php echo $form->getValueHtml('iphorm_X_X'); ?>

An example of autoreply-content.php is shown below.

    include dirname(__FILE__) . '/autoreply-content.php';
    $content = ob_get_clean();
 
    // Set the email content
    $mailer->MsgHTML($content);
 
    // You must return the $mailer object
    return $mailer;
}
add_filter('iphorm_pre_send_autoreply_email_1', 'my_customize_autoreply', 10, 3);
function my_customize_autoreply($mailer, $form, $attachments)
{
    // Get the new email content from the file autoreply-content.php
    ob_start();
    include dirname(__FILE__) . '/autoreply-content.php';
    $content = ob_get_clean();

    // Set the email content
    $mailer->MsgHTML($content);

    // You must return the $mailer object
    return $mailer;
}
add_filter('iphorm_pre_send_autoreply_email_1', 'my_customize_autoreply', 10, 3);
