    Use caption for email tags with Umbraco Forms integration

    Hi

    I am using the Umbraco Forms integration and wanted to share that you need to use the field caption as the tag in the Perplex Email ie. [#First Name:#]

    I didn't see this documented anywhere so hopefully this helps anyone who uses the Umbraco Forms integration.

    The documentation (pdf) talks about using the alias but the email tags were not being replaced. After diving into the Perplex.Workflow.dll source code I found it is using the caption.

    Using the caption makes sense as it is not easy to determine the field alias.

    Do you or anyone know any way to get the form name or form title? I've tried all of the following to no avail:

    • [#FormName#]

    • [#FormTitle#]

    • [#formtitle#]

    • [#formname#]

    • [#Title#]

    • [#Name#]

    • [#title#]

    • [#name#]

    • [#ContourPageName#]

    • [#contourpagename#]

    Dug through both Umbraco Forms and PerplexMail code and I can't figure this out. Has anyone accomplished this before?

    Hi guys,

    we're indeed using the Caption to output the tags. We've wanted to use the aliases because they don't chnage that often, but as long as you can't see the aliases in Umbraco Forms it's impossible for an average user to determine them.

    If you want the aliases to be visible; please vote up this issue: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/CON-807.

    We hope to make a fix soon that all tags should be lowercase and it's a good idea to also mix-in the formnames. Didn't need it earlier, but it should be pretty easy to do.

    Aliases are now visible in the latest Umbraco Forms.
