Change colors in email notification?

    My website uses a black background, and I’m using dark fields in Formidable (#444, #666 on focus). When I get a notification that a form has been submitted, the table in the email is using the styles I set in the form. So the table rows are using a black (#444 alternating with #666) background with white letters. This would be fine except it’s not using the link color from my site, it’s using the browser default blue. This makes the email link information almost impossible to read.

    I could switch all the forms to send notifications via plain text, so it’s not a critical issue, but it’s annoying.

    Is there any way to have the emails sent with dark text on a white/light background (without changing the form fields)?

    WP 6.5.2, FF 6.9

    Hey @baldguy

    You could add inline custom CSS to target those elements classes in the mail. This way you don’t have to use the plain text option or change your style.

    You can add the inline CSS in the Message box of the Email Notification action. You can check out this example:

    Would this work for you?

    When I went to that page I saw the Default Message Parameters. These allowed me to specify (among other things) the background color, alternate background color, and text color. Easy to implement, and work great.

    Lesson learned – should have Read The Fine Manual!

    I would still rather have a global option instead of notification-by-notification basis, but I’ll take it.

    Thanks!
