Hi
Client just asked, their forms are using default template, which is locked. But I made one for the contact form
which isn’t being used??

{exp:freeform:form notify="usersemail@theirdomain.com"
required="first_name|email|question" form_name="contact_form"
mailinglist="default"  user_email_template="contact_form"}

But it isn’t using contect_form, its using default as email says
Someone has posted to Freeform. Here are the details etc

template:

Template Name {contact_form}
Template Label
: {contact_form}
Email Subject
: Contact Form
A Contact Us form has been submitted to Site NAme
. Here are the details:
Entry Date: {entry_date}
{all_custom_fields}

Are you trying to send emails to the User filling out the form, or to a designated person (or both)? smile

If you’re just trying to send a notification to the specified “admins”, regardless, you’ve forgot a parameter: the template="” parameter.
Because it’s missing, I’m assuming that’s why Freeform is just automatically using the default template. wink

{exp:freeform:form notify="usersemail@theirdomain.com"
required="first_name|email|question" form_name="contact_form"
mailinglist="default"
template="contact_form"}

user_email_template="contact_form"

This parameter is to be used with send_user_email="yes”, which sends an email to the user.

That was basically your issue LOL
