Explanation of Email Notification and Autoresponder Settings

July 4, 2023

Notification and Autoresponder are the two types of email alerts that you can set up on your form. Notification can send an email to you or your specified recipients when someone fills out your form. By default, when you reply to a notification email, the message is sent to the form filler’s email address.

Autoresponder on the other hand can send an email to the form filler after submission. When a respondent replies, the message gets sent to your email.

Accessing Your Email Alerts

To view your email alerts

  1. In the Form Builder, select Settings at the top.
  2. Go to Emails on the left.
