New feature: set reply-to email in form notifications

We upgraded our WaterCMS, SkyCMS and LightCMS content management systems today with lots of behind-the-scenes improvements and a nifty new feature as well. This is a form-builder feature, so it is also added to Icebrrg, our stand-alone form builder product.

As you know, you can choose to have notification emails sent to any email address whenever a person fills out a CMS form. Now, you can tell the form to use the email address provided by the person filling out the form as the “reply-to” address on the notification email that is sent. So, if you wish to reply to the person who filled out the form, you can simply hit “reply” on your notification email and your email client will automatically know who to send the email to.

From this point forward, when you add your first email field to any form, it will automatically enable that field to be used as the “reply-to” address. However, we haven’t forced this change on any existing forms that already had email address fields, so if you want to “turn it on” for those forms, you’ll need to manually do so. All you have to do is edit the form, click on the email field you want to use, and check the box at the bottom of the field settings tab as shown in the image below.
