This free plugin lets you send an email from within an ExpressionEngine template without the user submitting a form. It works in both EE v1.x and v2.x.
It’s probably most likely to be useful when placed within an embedded template that is loaded using ajax by some user action in the parent template.

Sophia, try parse=“inward”. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to work on it to get variables working.

Hi, I tried the parse=inward and that didn’t work either.

Sophia, thanks for trying. I’ve added that to the plugin’s roadmap. Can’t say with confidence when exactly I’ll get to it though.

Ok, that’s no problem. I will just workaround it.
Thanks anyways.

I’m very interested in this. I’ve been asked to create a sort of tell-a-friend/e-card that self submits after a freeform is submitted. This might be a great way to make that happen.

Any news following on from Nick Benson’s comment above? Having the same issue…

I have a request that allows using conditionals inside the message. I’m populating the message field with some custom fields, and if that custom field is not present, I don’t want it to show up. Something simple like {if custom_field}Content here{/if}
Also, might you know why having ‘http://’ in the message field outputs as encoded HTML character entities instead? Is there a way this can be switched from within the plugin?
Thanks.

Sorry for not responding, people, I’ve been a bit swamped and haven’t had time to address issues on the free plugins.
Nick and JimboJ, I haven’t yet figured out why the PHP notice is happening, sorry!
Kyle, the encoding is happening within EE’s built-in functions that the plugin’s calling—I’ll have to look further to see how to disable that.

Does this plugin allow dynamic variables? I am trying to use {site_name} and {webmaster_email} and they are not being processed.
