Making an Email form work

Hello I am on break so I can't show you the code for the html form, but I do not know how to use ruby to make the Email form work, so if the user clicks the submit button, all the details like the message they sent will actually be sent to my Email. And when I checked there's nothing about Making an email form work with Ruby, or php. If anyone knows I will thank them, because for my website(still im development) I want to make a form so the user can send my information and it will go to my Email. Thank you any help will be grateful thank you.

Hi there,

I'm not sure if this was what you're looking for, but if you want to send emails from a Ruby on Rails application, you would need to set up Action Mailer in a production server. This link was a great place to start for me.

Other than that, it sounds like you want to set up a contact form in a static website. For that, I like to use formspree since it's easy to set up and its free if you're expecting less than 1000 emails per month.

I hope this was helpful!
