1. Will this plugin slow down my form submissions?
No additional external services are required for the core workflow system. The plugin works directly inside WordPress and JetFormBuilder, which keeps workflows centralized and avoids relying on multiple third-party automation platforms. Performance will still depend on factors such as hosting quality, SMTP configuration, and the complexity of your workflows.
2. Can I use this plugin without technical knowledge?
Yes for standard workflows. Most features are configured through the WordPress admin interface without coding. However, advanced workflows involving conditional logic, post meta automation, or complex routing will be easier if you are already familiar with JetFormBuilder, WordPress users and roles, and dynamic form workflows.
3. What happens if no condition matches my recipient rules?
The plugin falls back to your default recipients. This ensures submissions are still delivered even when conditional rules are not matched.
4. Can multiple team members receive the same email?
Yes. When rotation is disabled, emails can be sent to multiple recipients using BCC for recipient privacy. When rotation is enabled, submissions are assigned to one recipient at a time.
5. Can I use rotation separately for different conditions?
Yes. Each conditional recipient group can have its own rotation logic and assignment tracking. For example: Sales requests can rotate among sales staff, Support tickets can rotate among support agents, High-priority issues can rotate only among senior team members.
6. Do I need JetEngine to use the plugin?
No. JetEngine is only required if you want to create CCT-based in-app notifications. Core email workflow features work independently.
7. What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
Your existing JetFormBuilder forms continue working normally. Only the advanced workflow features provided by Nelx JFB Email Template become inactive until the plugin is reactivated.
8. Can I use this plugin for client projects?
Yes. The workflow structure is especially useful for agencies, client portals, support systems, HR platforms, and operational business websites. The 100-site license is designed specifically for multi-site or client-based usage.
9. Does the plugin work with forms that create posts or custom post types?
Yes. The plugin supports inserted post workflows and can use inserted post IDs, post URLs, post titles, and post meta values within email logic and notifications.
10. Why are all features available in the free version?
Because workflow limitations are easier to evaluate through real usage than through feature restrictions. Instead of disabling core functionality, the free version limits how many templates and modal configurations you can create. This allows you to test complete workflows before deciding whether you need more scale.
11. How do repeater fields work in emails?
Simply use {repeater_name} in your email content. The plugin automatically formats repeater data as an HTML table on desktop (with horizontal scroll, sticky headers, and alternating row colors) and switches to stacked cards on mobile for optimal viewing. All repeater sub-fields are displayed in both layouts.
12. How do I format select/radio/checkbox values?
Use {field_name:glossary|id} for fields with options fetched from glossaries (displays the label instead of raw value). Use {field_name:options} for manual options (automatically converts private_limited to Private Limited while preserving acronyms like CEO, API, PDF). Without these placeholders, raw values like private_limited will be shown.
13. Can I process specific repeater sub-fields?
Yes. Use the syntax {repeater_name|subfield1:glossary|id,subfield2:options}. For example: {footballer|nationality:glossary|55,clubs:options,trophies:options}. This will process only the specified sub-fields while displaying ALL sub-fields in the email. Sub-fields without configuration show their raw values.
14. What happens to acronyms during humanization?
The plugin intelligently preserves common acronyms like CEO, CFO, API, PDF, URL, ID, HR, IT, CRM, ERP, and 200+ others. For example, ceo_approval becomes CEO Approval (not Ceo Approval), and pdf_file_upload becomes PDF File Upload.
15. Can I use glossary placeholders with repeaters?
Absolutely. When configuring repeater sub-field processing, you can specify glossary lookups for any sub-field. Example: {order_items|product_type:glossary|45,status:glossary|78}. This is perfect for displaying clean labels from your JetEngine glossaries instead of raw option values.
16. Are the email tables responsive on all devices?
Yes. The plugin uses a dual-layout system: HTML tables with horizontal scroll on desktop/tablet, and stacked card layout on mobile (screens ≤ 600px). This ensures your repeater data is always readable regardless of the device your recipients use.
17. How do I find the glossary ID for my field?
Go to JetEngine Dashboard - Glossaries. Each glossary has its ID beside it labelled, for example: ID:3
18. Will the options placeholder affect regular text fields?
No. The :options placeholder only affects fields you explicitly use it with. Text fields like registration numbers (e.g., QYR-4500R-KE) will remain unchanged. Only fields using {field_name:options} are processed.
