Forward to a Friend Forms
Using the below documentation you can create a forward to a friend form, for use with one email address or multiple. By default this will forward the email you have just received.

Form Fields
As with Dynamic Forms, a Forward to a Friend form uses many Static functions. However there are some that are specific, identified below.
However, for us to know that the form is a 'Forward to a Friend' you must use:
<input type="hidden" name="_taf" value="1">Record the details of the 'Friend'
These fields record the details of the friend the email is forwarded to. They can use any table field from a core or data table, but email is required.
<input type="text" name="1.firstname">
<input type="text" name="1.surname">
<input type="text" name="email">Multiple Addresses
If you wish to forward the email to multiple addresses you must prefix the input fields with an "@".
<input type="text" name="@1.firstname">
<input type="text" name="@1.surname">
<input type="text" name="@email">
<input type="text" name="@1.firstname">
<input type="text" name="@1.surname">
<input type="text" name="@email">Force a Campaign to be Forwarded
By default this will forward the email you have just received. If you would like to forward a different email, rather than the original, use the following to override the action:
<input type="hidden" name="_taf_campaign_id" value="417">
<input type="hidden" name="_taf_launch_id" value="657">Receive Email Confirmation of Forwarding
If you want an email to show confirmation of your forwarded email you can use the following to set this up. This will send a copy of the email specified to the person who submitted the forward to a friend form:
<input type="hidden" name="_send_copy" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="_copy_campaign_id" value="417">
<input type="hidden" name="_copy_launch_id" value="657">Code for Forwarded Email
You will need to use template directives to enable the Forward to a Friend functionality. The following example shows how this will look in both source code and when displayed in an email client.
