Copy form submission to BP private message

    Hi! Our website uses GeoDirectory for user submitted listings, and a ninja form to allow members to reply to the listing. We’ve had a few members ask why their messages to listing authors (via a ninja forms that generates an e-mail to the author) are not showing up in their BuddyPress private message “Sent” folder.

    Is there a way to set up a hook or something so when that form is submitted, the e-mail content is also copied as a “Sent” message in BP for the respondent, and an “Inbox” message for the listing author/recipient?

    Thanks for any input!

    Ninja Forms passes the data onto your local WordPress -> PHP installation, via wp_mail() Your server then looks at the settings it has for email and sends out the email. This step is usually managed by your webhost or a SMTP plugin.

    You will need to contact the BuddyPress support to have them look into why Emails are not showing up in the BuddyPress sent area.

    Thanks for the response! I think I wasn’t clear enough with my question. The emails from form responses are going out just fine. What I meant to ask was…

    Buddypress has a component for private messaging between members. Members can send each other messages, and view their own inbox and sent folders, etc. What I’d like is for their Ninja Form submissions (in this case from the geodirectory response forms) to also show up as a “Sent” message in their buddypress sent messages folder on our website (completely separate from any e-mails). Would this be too complicated to set up?

    By default Emails do not show in your BP sent folder. This will require some extra custom code to have the Emails sent to WP_mail by Ninja Forms to show up in BP.
