Email Types to Send Sharing Items

Form

When selecting Form, you're allowing someone to send an email to someone else from your site. You can configure the overall template when sending out form emails by using the available merge controls next to each text field.

Since emails are being sent from your site to others, either Cloudflare Turnstile (Free) or Google RECAPTCHA Enterprise must be enabled for form mailing.

Form Fields When Emailing From Your Site

The available merge tags are presented by clicking on the + icon next to each text field.
