How do you change the default subject line on submitted emails? 

Someone has posted to Freeform

Thanks!

grantmx,

This is done by creating a new Notification Template in the Freeform CP:

CP Home › Modules › Freeform › Manage Templates

Then click the big green button at the top right that says “Create New Template” smile

Fill out the form accordingly. You can use any of the custom Freeform fields you’ve created (or the ones already there by default). smile

Next, you’ll need to specify that notification template you’ve just created, in the Freeform:Form loop in your EE template:

{exp:freeform:form form_name="whatever_you_want" required="name|email|phone" notify="name@address.com" template="contact_form"}

Where you see template=”contact_form

contact_form is where you’d specify the “short_name” of the Template you created smile

If you’re still having trouble, check out this nice little tutorial: smile

Thanks Pie Man - But I know how to create a new form, template, code parms, etc.  But how do you change the default subject line of the email one gets when the form is submitted?
