Email Placeholder List

All placeholders can be used in the email body texts, submission message, summary content, and PDF content. Please make sure to wrap each placeholder with double curly braces, e.g: {{date}} or {{result_values}}.

You can also show the submitted value of an element with its name in curly braces, e.g. if the name of your element is MyElement, the placeholder will be {{MyElement}}. Additionally, it is possible to show the calculated value in a placeholder. Simply add an asterisk ( * ) at the end of a placeholder, e.g.: {{MyElement*}}. Images attached to radio and checkbox elements can be used, too: add “_image” at the end of a placeholder, e.g. {{MyElement_image}}.

Default value: {{MyElement}}
Calculated value (or text value): {{MyElement*}}
- If used in HTML elements, add :name at the end of the placeholder: {{MyElement:name}}
- If used with HTML tags, add :striptags at the end of the placheolder: {{MyElement:striptags}}
Image: {{MyElement_image}}
