Messages

Messages are the texts visitors read after sending, or under a field that needs fixing. The form’s Messages tab lists the ones this form can show:

• Every form: message sent, message not sent, fields need fixing, looks like spam, required field left empty, too long and too short.
• One section per field type the form uses, such as Email address isn’t valid, or File too large.
• Logged-in users only, while that setting is on in the Advanced tab: what visitors who aren’t logged in see instead of the form.

Leave a message empty to use the site-wide text, shown in grey. You set those in Contact Form → Settings → Messages, and leaving one empty there falls back to the text Re:Maily comes with. Each field type’s page under Fields lists its messages with their default text.

The browser checks the fields when a visitor first tries to send, then checks a field again each time they change it. Re:Maily checks every field on the server too, so the same message shows even if the browser’s checks are skipped.
