Hi there,
I'm new to seblod and can see the potential for amazing things so thanks for creating such a fantastic product!
I've managed to create my form and by default my new article is getting created with the status unpublished which is what I want. However Im wondering if I can automatically send an email on form submission to my site admin asking them to publish the article once they've had a look over it.
Is this possible? I'm sure it is, just need some pointers to get me going in the right direction :)
Thanks,
Rowan

Hi Rowan,
Welcome to SEBLOD!
What you need to use is the "Email" field. If you create a new field in your Admin form and make it Type > Email, you will see a bunch of settings for sending through an email.

- Make sure "Send Email" is set to Always
- You can specify who the email is "from" (you can choose to grab a value from the field, or just have a static email address that the emails will be "Sent from"
- You can use the Message Editor for the body text of your email.
- If you want to include the value of one your fields in the body text of your email, add it by placing the field name in between hashes like this: #name_of_field#

Ah, yep that makes sense.
Thanks for all your work on those videos as well, it was nice hearing an aussie accent! Look forward to seeing some more. I suspect this might be the first of many seblod questions, its certainly got loads of potential, now I'ves just to work out how to unlock it all!
