Contact Us Essentials. Send contact emails to different recipients and/or threads [Paid] 2.3.8

[Stuart Wright]

Stuart Wright updated Contact Us Essentials. Send contact emails to different recipients and/or threads with a new update entry:

Usergroup permissions for each recipient group

Now you can set the usergroups who can message each recipient group.
See the attachment in the description which shows the standard usergroup selection.

I've updated 2.3.8 to add a small new feature. The user is prompted to select a group from the recipient list. Thanks to @hdrcgb for this suggestion. Everyone who has downloaded 2.3.8 please re-download it if you want this feature.

Contact form successfully sends the email. Is there a hook, callback or extension point where I can automatically create a XenForo Conversation for the submitting user after the form is processed?

There is an option to post the message in a specified forum.
You want to post the message as a new DM with specified user(s)?

Yes, exactly.
I would like to keep the standard Contact Form behavior, so it should continue sending the email normally.
After a successful submission, I would like to trigger an additional action that automatically creates a new XenForo Conversation for the submitting user.
The Conversation should:

• be sent from a specified user (e.g. the Administrator),
• have a predefined conversation title,
• contain a predefined message (such as Premium membership payment instructions),
• optionally include the selected Premium package from the contact form.

Does Contact Us Essentials provide a hook, callback, event listener, or extension point after the contact form has been processed successfully that would allow this?

I don't know technical aspects of the addons. I pay coders to do the work. I have asked about the feasibility of adding this functionality.
Of course, this functionality won't work unless the user sending the form is logged in, since we need to send to a valid user. And we won't know who they are unless they are logged in.
What is a 'premium package'? I don't understand point 4.

Hello Stuart,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, of course. This feature would only be used for logged-in members. Anonymous visitors would continue to use the standard Contact Form as usual.

Let me clarify what I mean by "Premium Package".

This is not related to XenForo itself.

On my forum, I sell Premium Membership subscriptions.

I created a custom request form using the standard XenForo Contact Form.

The member simply selects one of the available subscription options, for example:

• 1 Year Premium Membership
• 2 Year Premium Membership

These are just my own subscription plans.

After submitting the form:

1. The administrator receives the normal email.
2. The member automatically receives a Conversation containing payment instructions (IBAN, payment reference, etc.).

The important point is that this feature should not be limited to Premium Membership requests.

It could work with any custom form built on the XenForo Contact Form.

For example:

• Premium Membership Request
• Moderator Application
• Advertising Request
• Sponsorship Request
• Support Request
• Any other custom application form

The add-on would simply detect that the Contact Form has been successfully submitted by a logged-in user and automatically create a predefined Conversation.

In my opinion, this would make the Contact Form much more powerful and useful for many XenForo communities.

Thank you again for asking your developer about the feasibility.
