 * Hello Fabian 🙂 !
 * First of all, thank you for your great plugin!
    I have an issue with the notifications
   and the group fields in ACF : it doesn’t work. All my fields are nested into 
   group fields. In the notification settings, I can only choose a group field, 
   not the nested field. If I choose a group field, I have a 503 error when WP tries
   to send the mail…
 * How can I get the nested fields ?
 * Thank you in advance and have a good day !

 * Hi! Happy to hear you’re enjoying it!
 * There currently isn’t a way to include a nested field through the regular admin
   interface includes. It only works top level and should then display all sub fields
   of the group field, but not return a 503.
    Could you turn on WP_DEBUG and give
   me a copy of your log for debugging? Thanks!
 * I hope to one day make it possible to include specific nested fields but if you
   want to achieve right now it’s quite easy to do with a hook. Hook the `af/form/
   email/content` filter and then use `af_get_field` to retrieve submitted values.
   A bit more complicated than the admin interface but shouldn’t require to much
   code.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi Fabian,
 * Thank you for your answer.
 * When the email notification doesn’t contain any field, the mail works. But if
   I use a field in the mail, I have a 503 : [https://snag.gy/6xa2gn.jpg](https://snag.gy/6xa2gn.jpg)
 * Even with debug mode on, I have no error…
 * Thank you !

 * That’s odd!
 * Do you think you could send me a screenshot of your form email settings + one
   of your form fields? I’d like to try and replicate it locally. Thanks!

 * Finally got around to check this out, sorry about the late reply!
 * I haven’t been able to replicate this locally. Group fields don’t look great 
   in emails but they do work and haven’t caused me 503 errors.
 * Could you try your form in a different environment to rule out any weird email
   or PHP bugs. Perhaps a simple web host somewhere?
 * Thanks!
