FEEDBACK
The Feedback System is tied to the Contact Us area on the front end of your website. Once a site visitor has filled out the Contact Us form and hits Submit, the submission will show up in this area.
Under Contacts-Feedback in the Admin area, the system will total the number of new inquiries.
- Under Contacts - Feedback, click on Feedback.
- To view the submission in full, click on the hyperlink of the subject.
- You will then be able to view the sender's name, email address, comments, IP address and whether or not they would like a returned response.
- You have the choice of responding to the email, forwarding it, filing it away or deleting it entirely.
- When you forward the email, you have the option of changing the subject line. The default subject line is: Please Respond to This Email. To change the default, please contact support.
- The system can also email the submissions to individual email addresses. To enter in the email addresses, click on the link - Click here to maintain list of possible emails messages can be forwarded to or copied to...
- Enter in the email addresses for all locations in order for the system to work properly. Hit Save.
- The Additional Feedback Emails area will send all submissions to the email address entered in the fields. Enter in name, email address and select the Send checkbox. Hit Save.
