After a form is submitted, I need to send an email - with specific formatting and content - back to the person who submitted the form, I also need to send a differently formatted form to an admin address.
Do I need to create a custom workflow for that, or is that what the "xslt transformed email" workflow is for?
For the specific formatting and content of the email you will need to use the "xslt transformed email" workflow is.
I am not sure that you will be able to send to different styled emails, so for this part you will need to do some custom, if it´s a require, that the two emails are look different.
a nice alternative would maybe using our PerplexMail-package (https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/perplexmail-for-umbraco/) which comes with a workflow for Umbraco Forms so you don't have to brush up your XSLT (although you should, because XSLT still rocks ;)).
We have just implemented this with PerplexMail and it has worked very well. Allows the editors to edit the email content and create new emails within Umbraco. It gives them a lot of control.
You can create multiple workflow actions so one can send an admin email (for this we are using the default send email action) and a customer email (Where PerplexMail comes in)
Send custom emails

Any examples would be most useful :-)

Hope this helps,

I assume I can add 2 different XSLT workflows - 1 for submitter, 1 for admin.
Oh dear, going to have to brush up on my XSLT skills!!

You can use PerplexMail for Umbraco, it's allow manage custom emails, send via code and Umbraco Forms workflow
I have created a custom workflow, which means I can plumb into existing email code that already exists in the project. So far, it's working very well.
Yes you can
