Hi,
How can I create a standard contact us form?
After user submitting the forms, an email should also be sent.
Thanks for any help.
Hi, if you’re a developer who wishes to code a standard contact us form, you can use a servicesUrl with the sendmail service: https://enonic.com/docs/4.7/sendmail-service.html
In the case of the sendmail service, the whole purpose of the form is to send the submitted input values as an e-mail. As long as you don’t need any advanced e-mail formatting in the result, the sendmail service should be sufficient for a simple contact us form.
Many Enonic CMS sites also use the formbuilder module for this purpose. It’s a bit more complex than a simple form based on the sendmail service, but allows content producers to edit the forms themselves without involving developers, as well as storing the form submissions as content.

Just to be clear on this - Bjørnar’s answers relates to Enonic CMS, not XP where you would implement a custom service yourself.
