FormComponent
Display a simple form on your site that emails you submissions.
Where to Find
This Component can be found in the "Add Content to Page" section of the Toolbar.
Adding to Website
After selecting this Component, you will be able to choose exactly where you want to add it!
You will see all available content locations it can be added to - on the current page only (content locations in Gold), on every page (content locations in Red), or on every page under the current page directory (content locations in Blue. For example - if you are editing a page called "About", the blue content locations would allow you to add this component to all pages under the /about/ directory).
Options
You can drag any of the following items from the left column into the "Drag" areas of the Form fields:
- Single Line Input - A box for a simple single line of text to be entered. Great for names and e-mail addresses.
- Paragraph Input - A box for multiple lines of text to be entered. This is better for paragraphs and addresses.

- Check Box - A simple check box for tasks such as asking the user whether they would like to sign up for your mailing list. Can be selected or deselected.
- Dropdown Select - A tool for allowing the user to make a choice between items in a drop down box. Great when allowing the user to choose their country of residence, for example.

Reply To Sender Address
When someone submits an entry on your contact form, you will receive an email with this information.
We've recently made an adjustment to our contact forms to enhance their reliability. In order to do so we have disabled the customer's email address from the reply section to ensure you receive their message. We did this because many popular email providers (such as Gmail or Hotmail) are increasing their spam filter requirements, and having a different address in the reply section can cause it to be incorrectly marked as spam. In order to reply, please send emails to the customer's address that is specified in body of the email. Do not click the reply button as this will simply reply to Bravenet’s email address.
If you wish to enable having the customer’s email address in the Reply section, simply click the “Enable” radio button in the contact form settings. Please be aware this may cause email deliverability issues.
