How to send an Email confirmation after contact us

Question

When the client uses the contact form, how can I get a confirmation email to the user?

Answer 1

I think your need to send some Email confirmation to the user when he/she send a contact form !

Lest's go, we will use an observer for that with controller_action_postdispatch_contact_index_post as event.

In your module you have to add these 4 files, you replace {Vendor}/{Module} with you vendor, module name.

app/code/{Vendor}/{Module}/Observer/SendContactConfirmationEmail.php

app/code/{Vendor}/{Module}/etc/events.xml

app/code/{Vendor}/{Module}/etc/email_templates.xml

app/code/{Vendor}/{Module}/view/frontend/email/email_template.html

A Content :

app/code/{Vendor}/{Module}/Observer/SendContactConfirmationEmail.php

<?php
/**
 * Class SendContactConfirmationEmail
 * @object Send an email confirmation to the user after submi a contact form
 * @autor @mir
 */

namespace {Vendor}\{Modulename}\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\Observer as EventObserver;
use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;

class SendContactConfirmationEmail implements ObserverInterface
{
    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http
     */
    protected $_request;

    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder
     */
    protected $_transportBuilder;

    /**
     * @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface
     */
    protected $_storeManager;

    /**
     * For logger, var/log
     */
    protected $_logger;



    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
        \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http $request,
        \Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder $transportBuilder,
        \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger
    ) {
        $this->_request = $request;
        $this->_transportBuilder = $transportBuilder;
        $this->_storeManager = $storeManager;
        $this->_logger = $logger;
    }


    public function execute(EventObserver  $observer)
    {
        $event = $observer->getEvent();
        $name = $event->getRequest()->getPost()['name'];
        $email = $event->getRequest()->getPost()['email'];
        $content = $event->getRequest()->getPost()['comment'];

        if ($email) {
            try {
                $store = $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId();
                $transport = $this->_transportBuilder->setTemplateIdentifier('contact_confirmation_template')
                    ->setTemplateOptions(['area' => 'frontend', 'store' => $store])
                    ->setTemplateVars(
                        [
                            'store' => $this->_storeManager->getStore(),
                            'name' => $name,
                            'email' => $email,
                            'content' => $content,
                        ]
                    )
                    ->setFrom('general') //Store -> Configuration -> General -> Store Email Addresses
                    ->addTo($email, $name)
                    ->getTransport();
                $transport->sendMessage();
                //$this->_logger->info("Message sent !");
                return;
            } catch (\Exception $e) {
                $this->_logger->critical($e->getMessage());
                return;
            }
        }
    }

1. On the Admin sidebar, tap Stores. Then under Settings, choose Configuration.
2. In the panel on the left under General, choose Contacts
3. Expand the Email Options section. Then, do the following:
4. In the Send Emails to field, enter the email address where messages from the Contact Us form are sent.
5. Set Email Sender to the store identity that appears as the sender of the message from the Contact Us form. For example: Custom Email 2.

Answer 3

I put together a solution using plugin

https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/311559/70343

Here is link to repo

https://github.com/DominicWatts/ContactResponse

It's always safer to go plugin route as less likely to conflict with other extensions

Answer 4

To get contact configuration navigate to

Store > Configuration > General > Contacts

and set email in field Send Emails to where you want to get contact form email.
