MonsterCommerce offers a standard FormMail that you can use for surveys, contact and request forms. This form will be used for your customers to answer questions, ask for more information or comment on your products and their responses get emailed directly to whom you specify! Using custom HTML, you can control the information and presentation of your form. Here, you will be provided with the tools to create your own custom form. This QuickGuide assumes that you know how to build a form, assign an action, and are comfortable with basic HTML.
FormMail is an HTML form to email gateway. There is only one required form input tag that you must specify in order for the script to work on your existing forms or your new form. Other hidden fields can also be used to enhance the function of the form on your site. MonsterCommerce uses Version 1.92 of FormMail.
The Action command should point at:

There is only one form field that you must have in your form for FormMail to work correctly. This is the
recipient field.
Field: recipient
Description: This form field allows you to specify who you wish your form results to be mailed to. You can
configure this option as a hidden form field with a value equal to your e-mail address.
Syntax: <input type=hidden name="recipient" value="email@your.domain.com">
OR <input type=hidden name="recipient" value="user@yourdomain.com,user2@yourdomain.com">
Remember to include a Submit button as well, so there is a way to send the form (example on next page). There are many optional form fields that you can use to configure your form. You can find a list here.
You can place your code within a Custom HTML page by going to , under the Design Manager section. You may also create your own HTML page outside of the store and upload the form to your file manager. The format of the email in which you receive is not customizable. It is sent text only, and has the question (the field name) and the customers' response.
