Change 'from' email /messages list /MailChimp conflict

  • Hi,

    So far, I’m really glad I found this plugin. I just have a couple of minor issues. Generally everything works great except for a conflict with having MailChimp enabled in your plugin and in WP Subscribe Pro (Mythemeshop).

    I already had WPSP set up, and I guess having the api in both plugins conflicted. I decided to just disable it in your form because it sends the automatic email anyway which is fine for what I’m using it for. (Just thought I would bring it to your attention.)

    I tested the form and both the admin and customer emails went through just fine. The only problem I see is that the ‘from’ email address is noreply@mydomain.

    If I try to reply, I don’t have that email set up (which triggers a warning in Gmail that they can’t verify it was sent by me) and even if I set that email up, it’ll be confusing if I tell people to reply to a noreply email.

    I don’t see a way to change the ‘from’ email. If there isn’t, this would be a great feature.

    Another thing that’s a bit confusing is that in the messages list, there’s only an id number, date and the name of the form. You have to open the preview to see any information such as the name or email. If there ends up being a lot of messages it would be time consuming to find a particular one.

    The only other thing is the limited spam protection options. Any chance you’ll be adding another alternative, like a simple captcha?

    I know you’re still working on adding features, so I figured I would point out those few minor things. After testing a lot of different form plugins, this one was the easiest to configure (out of the ones that worked with my set up) and has the most features that make sense without adding too many. It works smoothly and doesn’t inject a ton of code into the page. Plus, it only took about 10 minutes to style the form so it matched my site perfectly.

    Hi,

    Thanks for checking out Engage and for your positive feedback!

    We’ll certainly look into the conflict issue with WPSP.

    Setting the from address, as well as an SMTP module is something we have planned so you can expect to see that in a future release.

    Making the messages list easier to navigate is something we’ve discussed and have a few ideas for how we could achieve this. The trick is keeping it dynamic as not every form has a name and email field.

    As for spam protection, we will be adding a new honeypot spam trap and a Google reCaptcha module. Both of these additions are high up the priority list so expect to see those soon!

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    It’s good to know you plan on adding these features. For now, I’ll just create the noreply email address and wait for the updates. This is definitely a plugin I would like to continue using.

    Cheers.
