Hi guys –
I have got some time of work, and i love to challenge myself –
i was going to have a new WordPress website built for my business, but ultimately, with the time off, I thought it would be great to try building it myself, and hopefully learn for the future.
the website is 90% complete, and I’m happy with how it is currently –
MY QUESTION –
with the contact form 7 plugin, I’ve created the form, and got it looking well, BUT, i’m struggling with the mail section, mainly the message body –
i need the form once it emails to my account to be displayed in a nicer looking output?
sorry i don’t understand this part exactly, but i’ll explain my need.
2 forms on my website, 1 booking form, and 1 quote form,
the booking form should email to me with a “prettier” view, so i could then forward this on to colleagues of mine,
the quote form should email me with a similar view, allowing me to look at the details and then i can email the customer a customised quote using the details they have provided.
(bonus points if i could then move this form into a booking form?)
I’ve looked around google and reddit and can’t really find anything to help me with changing the body text that gets emailed, I’ll assume i need to use some CSS? but don’t see anywhere to add it?
​
unfortunately, or maybe fortunately this is the first thing that has really stumped me in this whole time I’ve been working on the site.
i think there must be many resources out there online to learn from, but i guess i don’t know the wording to search for?
would it make sence to use a server of some kind? or something like that? i really am struggling with how this part works.
Thanks,
Dan

You can use html layout for the body of the email.
What I usually do is go through my email inbox and find an email that is similar to the design I want. I then view the source and grab the HTML. I add it to the response body in CF7, check the box for HTML content type and modify the code as needed.
I just DM’d you a very simple HTML template you can modify.
