In the NEX-Forms Global Email Configuration settings, you have the option to choose between sending emails in HTML format or as plain text. You can configure this setting globally to match your preferences or requirements for the emails sent via your forms, ensuring flexibility in how your form submission notifications are delivered.
HTML Emails Plain Text Emails
This format supports advanced styling, including colors, images, and rich text formatting (like bold or italic text). It provides a visually appealing and professional layout for your emails, making them suitable for branding and user engagement. This format includes only unformatted text, making it lightweight and universally compatible across all email clients. It’s a simpler option, ideal for users or systems that prefer minimalistic emails or have restrictions on receiving HTML content.

Method Description
WP Mail (RECOMENDED) The WP Mail email method in NEX-Forms uses WordPress's built-in wp_mail() function to send emails. This method leverages the email configuration set within your WordPress installation or plugins like WP Mail SMTP.

It’s a convenient option for users already utilizing WordPress-based email settings, providing a balance between simplicity and reliability. If your WordPress site is configured correctly, this method ensures consistent email delivery without requiring additional setup.

RECOMENDED
PHP Mailer The PHP Mailer email method in NEX-Forms allows you to send emails using WordPress built-in PHPMailer function - /wp-includes/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php.
SMTP The SMTP email method allows you to send emails using SMTP and WordPress built-in PHPMailer function - /wp-includes/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php.

We still recommend using WP Mail with a WP Mail SMTP plugin for the most reliable way to send emails.
Normal PHP The PHP Mailer email method in NEX-Forms allows you to send emails using PHP's built-in mail() function. This method is straightforward and does not require additional configuration, making it ideal for users who want a quick and easy setup for email delivery.

However, since it relies on your hosting server's email configuration, it may encounter limitations or inconsistencies depending on the server's settings. If you experience issues with email deliverability, consider using WP Mail for a more reliable performance.

We have been using NEX-Forms for two years to our complete satisfaction. The paid pro version with its free add-ons is worth the money because it leaves almost nothing to be desired when creating a wide variety of forms. At NEX-Forms, we also appreciate the one-time license fee (in contrast to subscription plans) with lifetime updates and 6-month support by the developer. If you have a problem, you will be presented with a solution quickly (usually within a day). If you need support again after the first 6 months, you have to buy a support extension, but it has a fair price. If possible, the developer also responds to feature requests, which he takes into account in the next updates. We can highly recommend NEX-Forms.
