    Hello,
    Do you have any ideas on how I could create one form where I add the sender’s email to the mailing list AND send an email with a message to my site admin at the same time?

    I want to submit the mailinglist form and the contact_form forms both at the same time so I can add emails to mailing list and collect postal addresses at the same time.

    I was thinking I could submit the one contact form and then submit the 2nd (mailing list) form on the thank-you page as a hidden form, like in Emily Griffiths solution to a slightly different problem on this archived forum thread but I can’t do that because the visitor will not be logged in (it is not a membership site) so I won’t have access to the email address once the page has reloaded.
