Beyond Basicย Email Notifications

Go beyond basic email notifications in your WordPress forms. Enable email routing using conditional logic WordPress form email notifications. You're busy. Your employees are busy. Your customers are busy. Getting forms to the right department is vital to respecting everyoneโ€™s valuable time. By setting upย proper email routing, you ensure the customer's message reaches the right person instantly without one (or more!) employee(s) manually sorting through and routing emails. Admit it. We've all done it at one point. Named that person or persons whose job it is to triage all inbound website communications. With Formidable Pro's conditional logic email notifications, you still may need one person to handle uncategorized or miscellaneous inquiries. However, the triaging will be handled from within your form. For example, letโ€™s say you are creating a form for an auto dealership website where someone is inquiring about leasing a specific type of vehicle. Website form inquiries can be routed to the correct salesperson by the type of vehicle they want to lease. Or you could base the routing on whether the customer needs sales, service, or finance. What you need here goesย beyond basic email notifications. For a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up email notifications, click here. Basic email notifications are typically set up only to go to all recipientsย each time the form is submitted, regardless of form responses. Thus the one or more employees on the other side sorting and forwarding emails to the appropriate person or department. Learn more: How to create a to-do list in WordPress!
