I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to get my custom designed form to incorporate with my autoresponder. I have a section on my website asking for name and email with a button that when clicked should lead to my autoresponder. I have no idea how to set that up. I have a form from a template that the autoresponder service gives me. How do I combine the two so that the person visiting my website can enter their name and email click the submit button and their info goes to my autoresponder with out having to use the ugly template form the autoresponder service gives me? I have pasted the two sets of code I have. If anyone has any insight as to what I would need to do I would love to hear it. Thanks.

Here is the HTML code for the sumbit form box on my website:
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-10 col-sm-10 col-lg-offset-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-offset-2">
<div class="report">
<div class="row">
<div class="report_logo">
<img src="images/advertizing%20report.png" alt="">
<div class="report_logo_text">
<h5>Free</h5>
<p>Advertising E-Book</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<div class="row">
<div class="report_contact">

<div class="report_info left">
<form action="action_page.php" method="POST">
Name: <input type="text" size="8" maxlength="40" name="name" placeholder="">
<br>
<div class="email">

<form action="action_page.php" method="POST">
email: <input type="text" size="8" maxlength="40" name="name" placeholder="">
</form>

</div>
</form>
</div>

<div class="submit left">
<form action="action_page.php" method="POST">

<input type="submit" value="Get&#x00A;Report&#x00A;">
</form>
</div>

</div>

And here is the code from the form autogenerated:

<body>
<!--
Do not modify the NAME value of any of the INPUT fields
the FORM action, or any of the hidden fields (eg. input type=hidden).
These are all required for this form to function correctly.
-->
<style type="text/css">

.myForm td, input, select, textarea, checkbox {
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 12px;
}

.required {
color: red;
}

</style>
<form method="post" action="http://mbgrey.com/email/form.php?form=2" id="frmSS2" onsubmit="return CheckForm2(this);">

If anyone knows where to start please let me know. Thanks.

  • You take the account that is receiving the emails from the form (it shouldn't be getting anything else) and you go into your cpanel and create an autoresponder that answers these. The settings are self explanatory. You can't build a whole series that way. If you want that you may need a WordPress autoresponder plugin, but the principle is the same- the target email for the form is hooked up to the autoresponder.
  • The only part you need is <form> ................</form> from the autorepsonder company. All other skinning is done outside of that and maybe a little inside that custom submit button.
