    Hello! You should be able to directly include the form element into the email template from the editor itself (as shown in the screenshot below). This will put the element's placeholder at the place of the cursor

    Hi Patrick,


    Thanks for the quick answer. It is a hidden field that conditionally has to be shown on a certain click of the user, and that hidden field should be transmitted in the email notification and it does not show up in the blue "Form Fields" dropdown.


    Is it possible to send this hidden field in the email notification? It is urgently needed as text info in the email ...

    Hey infoatinputch,

    The Paragraph or Text element is not used to collect information, only to display it. For this reason is not available to be sent to email responses. Please use Short Text or Long Text elements to store conditional information that you wish to pass to an email.

    Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!

    Hi Anthony, thanks very much, this was my mistake, it worked fine with Long Text, I did a Paragraph Text field ...
