            "Email: %1\$s\nForm: %2\$s\nPage: %3\$s\nTime: %4\$s\n",
            sanitize_email( $email ),
            is_object( $form ) && isset( $form->name ) ? $form->name : '-',
            $page ? $page : '-',
            wp_date( 'Y-m-d H:i' )
        )
    );
}, 10, 2 );
```

## Notes

Set $wpide_notify_to. Not recommended for lists with dozens of signups per day.
