Umbraco 7.2 Forms (not Contour) - Customize the Email work flow

I'm using the new form feature in umbraco 7.2 and have a few forms set up, all working. I can see the enteries in the back office.

What I now want to do is set up a work flow that sends an email when the form is submitted, but I want to send the content of the form in the email, but I don't want to send everything thats is in the email only some of the fields.

Any ideas of how to do this?

The workflows in the new forms work exactly the same as the ones in the older version apparently. You can create your own custom workflow using something like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Web;
using System.Xml;
using Umbraco.Forms.Core;
using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes;
using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Enums;
using Umbraco.Forms.Data.Storage;

namespace WebApp.Contour
{
    public class SendEmailToUser : WorkflowType
    {
        // Generates the new workflow details for Contour in the workflow dropdown in Contour
        public SendEmailToUser()
        {
            // Need to generate a new guid for the new custom workflow - add your own GUID
            this.Id = new Guid("PLACE GUID HERE");
            this.Name = "PUT WORKFLOW NAME HERE";
            this.Description = "PUT WORKFLOW DESCRIPTION HERE";
    }

    public override List<Exception> ValidateSettings()
    {
        List<Exception> exceptions = new List<Exception>();

        //if you have any settings, validate them here

        return exceptions;
    }

    public override Umbraco.Forms.Core.Enums.WorkflowExecutionStatus Execute(Record record, RecordEventArgs e)
    {
        //place your workflow execution logic here, "record" gives you access to the fields on the submitted record            

        return WorkflowExecutionStatus.Completed;
    }
}
