email not sending to owner

  • Hi, despite carefully following the steps https://wpjobmanager.com/document/customising-job-application-process/ and having no success trying to get WP job manager together with contact listing for WP job manager to send an email to the posting owner using ninja forms.

    Could it be that this plug-in is no longer compatible with Ninja forms 3.

    I’ve had a support email back from ninja forms saying that “{contact-email} isn’t something that their Merge Tag system understands. It’s an outdated reference”

    Any help would be much appreciated – thanks

  • Hi @colin73

    have you had any luck with this? It seems support isn’t being handled here and I’m in the same boat you were. Did you find a workaround? Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Hi, I know exactly what you mean the silence was deafening in this forum!

    We didn’t find an easy answer – I found that the syntax in the “to” field has to be exactly correct and is not as documented in our case we ended up using this {field:contact_email_1507031016573}

    that works – but we then run into further problems when we were trying to attach a file (CV) consequently I ended up downloading the Mailgun plug-in, and following those instructions to use Mailgun to send the emails ( this is as recommended in the Ninja forms documentation – what they don’t seem to say is that if you want it to work reliably you seemingly “MUST” to use this or some other third-party product)

    We were lucky in that we already had a Mailgun account … I believe that setting that up is quite easy and also linking the two was straightforward (it’s also completely free unless your email volume is absolutely massive)

    good luck ??

    Ahhh great, thanks man…really appreciate your time and well written description. I’ll give it a go!
    Cheers.
