Templating
Templating in FabForm allows you to create personalized text messages by merging form data from the actual form submission with pre written text.
You use a {my-name} placeholder to mark where and what you want to merge from the form data. imy-name being the name you gave to the form field you want to insert.
An email address could be referenced like this {email}
In this simple example form we are collecting two pieces of data. One has a name of firstName, and the other has a name of lastName.
Also, be sure to replace in the action property the form id xxxxxxx with a real form id that you created.
<form action="https://fabform.io/f/xxxxx" method="post"> <label for="firstName">First Name</label> <input name="firstName" type="text" required> <label for="lastName">Last Name</label> <input name="lastName" type="text" required> <button type="submit">Send</button></form>
In our template, we can now refer to this form data. We could have a message like this in our template text.
Dear {firstName} {lastName}
We are ....
The {firstName} and {lastName} placeholders will be replaced with the submitted form data.
Dear Paul Smith
We are ...
