This process requires a connected domain and a company email address associated with that domain. Once these prerequisites are in place, you can complete the configuration from the dashboard.
Prerequisites
Before configuring the contact form, ensure that:
- A custom domain is connected to your website.
- You have a company email address that matches the connected domain (for example, info@yourdomain.com).
These requirements are necessary to ensure proper email delivery and avoid spam filtering issues.
Locate the Contact Form ID
- Go to Pages from your website dashboard.
- Open the Contact page and click Edit Page.
- In the page editor, locate the contact form shortcode.
- Note the form ID shown in the shortcode (for example: 818).
You will use this ID to access the correct form in the dashboard.
Access the Contact Form Settings
- From the dashboard, navigate to Contact > Contact Forms.
- Locate the form that matches the ID you identified earlier.
- Hover over the form and click Edit.
- You will see several configuration tabs:
- Form
- Mail
- Messages
- Additional Settings
Configure Email Delivery (Mail Tab)
The Mail tab is the most important section for ensuring that form submissions are delivered correctly.
- Open the Mail tab.
- In the 'To' field, enter your company email address (must match the website domain).
- In the 'From' field, enter the same company email address.
- Click Save at the bottom of the page.
Once saved, the form is configured to send inquiries to your email address.
Edit Form Fields (Form Tab)
- Open the Form tab.
- Review the existing form fields and labels.
- You may update the wording by replacing the text directly.
Customize User Messages (Messages Tab)
- Open the Messages tab.
- Edit the system messages displayed to users (for example, success messages or validation errors).
- Click Save after making your changes.
All changes are saved automatically to the form and will be reflected on the Contact page.
Submit a test inquiry through the Contact page to confirm that emails are being delivered correctly.
