# E-Mail a Friend Page Type

This Page Type offers your site Visitors with a way of e-mailing any Page to their friends or colleagues.

To use this feature, simply Create a Page with this Page Type, and create a link to the Page on any Page's content like:

/pages/email_a_friend

TIP: To add this feature to many Pages, add the link to a Common Region.

When the link is clicked, a form is displayed that prompts the Visitor to enter some required(*) and optional fields so that an e-mail can be sent to the friend. A copy of the e-mail can also be sent to the Visitor if requested. When submitted, the Page is sent via e-mail.
NOTE: For privacy reasons, the e-mail address(es) are not saved.
Here are the Page Type Properties available to this Page Type:

Submit Button Label: | Enter the text you wish to display on the "Submit" button.
Next Page: | Select the Page on the website to direct the Visitor to when the Submit Button is clicked.

## SPAM Protection

Spammers use unprotected web forms in an attempt to use another's website to post and broadcast their own advertising. To combat this malicious technique, if CAPTCHA is enabled in the Site Settings then all Email-a-Friend Pages have a CAPTCHA feature that is automatically enabled if the Page is displayed to any site visitor that is not logged into the website. The CAPTCHA asks a simple challenge question that the visitor must answer correctly in order to submit the web form.
