• Sorry to bother you guys.
    I have built a very simple video submission form, for new live bands to send us their live stage performance videos for us to assess their suitability for our Agency. Their successful form submission sends me an auto email to my personal Yahoo email account (as it’s on my phone, so I get the alert instantly and can click the video link to assess the band’s performance immediately). Anyway, I’d like to be able to instantly click a reply button in the email somewhere, where the reply email will load the band member’s harvested TO: email address, and will also auto-populate the subject line: “Your Band Submission Has Been Approved”, and submit it with a body text:
    Thanks for your band submission. We are pleased to invite you to create a profile page on our Live Music Agency website by filling out the details in our new bands sign-up form:

    https://thelivemusicagency.com.au/new-bands-sign-up-form/

    Kindest Regards,
    The Live Music Agency

    Can this be done on the free account? It would be great if it could just be a reply button that I hit, and then hit send – 2 simple actions, as it’s all auto-populated. Do you think this could work.
    Thank you, Stu

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello @stumur,

    Thank you for reaching out and for the detailed explanation — that makes the workflow very clear, and it is absolutely something we can help you streamline.

    You can get very close to your ideal workflow by adding a custom “Click here to Approve this band” link inside the email using the mailto: method.

    In your “Email Notification” (the one you receive as an admin), you can add something like this:

    <a href="mailto:{email}?subject=Your Band Submission Has Been Approved&body=Thanks for your band submission.%0A%0AWe are pleased to invite you to create a profile page on our Live Music Agency website by filling out the details in our new bands sign-up form:%0A%0Ahttps://thelivemusicagency.com.au/new-bands-sign-up-form/%0A%0AKindest Regards,%0AThe Live Music Agency">
    Click here to Approve this band
    </a>

    Note: Please make sure you replace {email} (in the above code) with the actual member’s email field tag from your form (see attached screenshot at https://ibb.co/xKZsZn7Q). Additionally, feel free to change the link text “Click here to Approve this band” to your own preference.

    For further information on how to create and edit “email notifications” inside Forminator Forms, please refer to the official documentation at https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#email-notifications-forms.

    The result would be a link that, by clicking it, a new email draft can open with:

    • the band member’s email address already filled in,
    • the subject line pre-populated, and
    • your message already written out.

    This gives you a very quick workflow: click the approve link, check the draft, and press send. See also the attached screenshot at https://ibb.co/6R64m6gs.

    Please note that while this link method works well in most cases, it does have some limitations. The exact behavior may vary slightly depending on your device or email client/app (such as Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, etc), and formatting like line breaks may not always appear perfectly. Furthermore, if no default email app is configured on your device, it may not open properly.

    I hope this helps streamline your workflow. Please let us know if this answers your question or if you need any further assistance — we’ll be happy to help.

    Best regards,
    Mina Emad
