This tutorial explains how to create forms to send emails using ConfiForms CLOUD |
If you are unfamiliar with ConfiForms app, please start with the basics: Creating a form in Confluence
This is how the form will look like after you complete this tutorial
The form has 2 fields of type text and one texarea field to input the message
The form's configuration in the Confluence editor looks like this
And we will have a ConfiForms FormView Registrations Control macro to render the form, like this
Configuration for ConfiForms Field Definitions is very simple - just 3 fields, with names and titles, selecting the field type as "text" for the first two, and "textarea" for the 3rd field
The interesting part is the IFTTT Integration Rule, which is configured like this. We reference field's values via [entry.field_name] notations in corresponding macro parameters
The macro has the reference to "message" field definition in it's body (via ConfiForms Field macro), which will be used as a message contents for the email
Complete solution in storage format could be found here
