Smart Mailer Tutorials - Send mail to one recipient

How do you send mail to one recipient when form is submitted

You created a simple contact us form and would like to have the results of the form emailed to you. In this tutorial we will create a simple contact form and when the user submits the form results will be mailed to you.

How to do it

1. Open page

   Open your asp file that will display the contact form. I have created a form with the following fields:
   Name, Company, Email, Question/Concern.
   
   

2. Create your variables

To be able to email the content of the form, you need to create variables for the different fields and bind them to the form. I have named my textfields according to the info needed like name, company, email and question.

Click on the Bindings tab and the + sign. Select Request Variable, choose Request.Form and fill in the name of your fields. Do this for each field, so four times. In the Bindings you will see this:



3. Apply Smart Mailer extension: Main

   You can find the Smart Mailer extension under Server Behaviors | DMXzone | Smart Mailer.

4. Apply Smart Mailer: Content

In Subject I choose to select the company name as dynamic data.
In Body I choose Static text/html. This will send a mail with the name, company, email and question he/she has in the mail body. You do not have to enter <br> after each line. It will be automatically done.

6. Apply Smart Mailer: Setup

There are four components: CDO (WinXP/Win2000), CDONTS (NT4/Win2000), JMail and ASPEmail.
The Ignore errors can be checked when you want the mail to continue even though there is an email address that is incorrect.
The Timeout in seconds can be adjusted to your own needs, defaults at 300.
In Redirect select the URL users will be directed to after they submit the form. In this case a thank you page.
