The Divi Contact Form Module

How to add, configure and customize the Divi contact form module.

Updated over 4 months ago

The Divi Contact Form module makes contacting you easy for your website visitors. The contact form module has input fields, an email field, a textarea, checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdown capabilities.

You can make fields required to fill out, integrate with spam protection, and customize email notifications and the success message.

How To Add The Divi Contact Form Module To Your Page

  1. Add a new page or edit an existing page.
    By default, the Standard Gutenberg Editor loads whenever a new post or page is added to WordPress.

  2. Click the purple button underneath the page title. Use The Divi Builder.

Divi Contact Form Module

Once clicked, the page will be reloaded with the Divi Visual Builder.

As your page reloads, you'll notice three options:

  • Build From Scratch

  • Choose A Premade Layout

  • Build with AI

Build From Scratch

This option loads the Divi Builder with a blank page design. Choose this option if you'd like to start your page design from Scratch.

Choose a Premade Layout

This option lets you choose from our large library of pre-designed Divi layouts. You can choose from premade layouts by Divi, which you've designed and saved to your Divi Library, and existing pages on your website that you can clone.

Build with AI

This option allows you to create an entire page layout using Divi AI. Using your text prompt and information about your website, you can create the perfect page outline, then build it and fill it with content and imagery, bringing it all to life in no time.

Add the Contact Form Module

  1. Click the green + icon to insert a Row.

  2. Click the gray + icon inside the Row to open the Divi Module Library, which contains all the modules included with the Divi theme.

  3. Find the Contact Form module and click on it to load the module.
    The module library is also searchable. Type the module name you want in the search bar at the top.

Add the Contact Form module

Note: When the Contact Form module is added to your pages, it will display three default fields:

  1. Name

  2. Email

  3. Message

Anyother fields you are adding, are considered to be custom fields and those should be included in the Message Pattern area in order to have them displayed in your email.

All Contact Form Module Options Explained

The settings automatically pop up once you’ve added the Contact Form module. This is where this module's content and design styles are configured. These settings are organized into three groups via the tabs at the top of the module: Content, Design, and Advanced.

How to use the Divi Contact Form Module

How to Add a New Field

The module settings automatically pop up when the Contact Form is first loaded. In this window are fields for:

  • Name,

  • Email

  • Message

Those three fields are the default Contact Form module fields.

To add a new field, click Add New Field. To remove a field, click the trash icon to the right of that field. To access the settings for an individual field, click the gear icon on the left of that field.

Field Content Options

This tab is where you can edit the content of the field. There are a lot of similar design settings available to individual fields and the module as a whole.

Text

  • Field ID - The field ID is the unique tag associated with this field. You can use unique tags to customize the format of form submissions sent to your email.

Important Note: The field's ID cannot contain special characters such as: ±, !,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,(,),+,|,\,/,~. For each field's ID, we can only use lower and uppercase English letters.

Also, the field's ID cannot contain any spaces. All spaces should be converted to _

  • Title - Type the descriptor text you want displayed with this field here.

Field Options

By default, an input field is added.

To change the field type, click on Field Options and select the one you want from the dropdown menu. The options are:

  • Input field - for text inputs,

  • Email field - for email address inputs,

  • Textarea - for multi-column text inputs, such as a Message field.

  • Checkboxes - used to create a multi-selection form element where the user can check multiple options.

  • Radio buttons - similar to checkboxes, but with the major difference that the user can only check a single radio button

  • Select dropdown - used to create a dropdown list of options.

You can set a minimum and maximum length and allowed symbols for input fields.

Example: if the input field is for collecting a phone number, you can select Numbers Only (0-9) so that phone numbers must be entered numerically.

Note: If you would like this field to be required to be filled out before the form can be submitted, then toggle the Required Field to yes.

Contact Form Module's Field individual settings

Note: The rest of the design and advanced settings that can be applied individually to fields can also be set at the module level, which we will review below.

Content Tab

Inside this tab, you’ll find the content options available for the Contact Form module. The Contact Form module has both global module settings and individual style and design settings for the contact form fields.

That means you can customize each field item further if desired.

Contact Form Module's Content Tab settings

Text

  • Title - If you want to add a title to your contact form, type that here.

  • Success Message -Type the message you want to be displayed after a successful form submission. Leave this field blank if you want the default success message to display.

Email

Note: To ensure that contact form submissions get delivered to your email address, we recommend using a service such as Mandrill or SendGrid to ensure these emails go through.

  • Email Address - Type the email address to which you would like the contact form submission to here.

  • Message Pattern - Define how contact form submission information looks in the email client. To include a field, use the following format: %%field_id%%.

Example: to include a field with id = phone and the field with id message, this is how that would look:

My message is %%message%% and my phone number is %%phone%%.

Note: Leave this field blank if you’d like to use the default formatting, which lists the fields in order.

Redirect

Define the redirect URL to which the users will be redirected after a successful form submission.

  • Enable Redirect URL - Toggle this option to yes if you'd like to redirect users to another web page after a successful form submission.

Spam Protection

Enabling spam protection helps prevent fake submissions from bots. The Contact Form module comes with the ability to use a basic captcha math problem.

Position

  • Position - This defines the position of the module:

    • Relative (default value) - The module is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset values are relative to itself based on the values of Vertical Offset and Horizontal Offset. The offset does not affect the position of any other elements; thus, the space given for the module in the page layout is the same as if the position were default (static).

    • Absolute - The module is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor (if any) or the initial containing block. The Location options determine its final position

    • Fixed - The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned based on the location options in relation to the browser window. This can be used to create a sticky module.

  • Vertical Offset - Defines the module's vertical position.

  • Horizontal Offset - Defines the module's horizontal position.

  • Z-index - Defines the order of the module in the page layout. Modules with a higher z-index number overlap modules with a lower z-index.

Scroll Effects

This defines how the module behaves upon scrolling. You can make the module sticky (to top, bottom, or top and bottom) and choose if the module transforms upon scrolling.

You can also enable vertical motion on this module, which allows you to adjust the speed at which this element scrolls (making it faster or slower) without affecting the surrounding elements.

The Motion Trigger Effect allows you to choose when the scroll effect you just applied is triggered: when the top of the element is in view, the middle, or the bottom.
