Contact form help

Recommended Posts

Hello

I have a basic contact form on my site, when a user submits a comment, I receive the email from "Squarespace <form-submission@squarespace.info>" with a subject line of "Form Submission - Contact - test1" Where test1 is the Subject line of the contact form. 

Is there away to customize that so the subject line the sender uses is the subject line I see when I look at my email.

The from I figured there is not much you can do there for customizing.. If there is away to display the persons name and email from the form that would make sorting emails easier. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No. The email’s subject will be a combination of “Form Submission”, the form name and the subject field (if you included one). This is fixed.

Hi @paul2009 I am trying to get a subject line to include some type of identifying factor (eg. customer name, unique identifiable code, anything unique really) to prevent the emails from bunching in conversation view in Gmail. 

Is there any way to edit the subject line of the email you know of, outside of using a third party form or zapier?

Assuming you are on a Business billing plan or above, there are two ways to approach this:

  • Use some code to hide the 'Subject' label and replace it with something else, prompting users to add the unique information you require, such as their name.
  • Use some code to completely hide the subject field from users and to insert a unique value into the text box.
