    Hi, I would like to add conditions for sending one email or the other. Is that possible? 

    E-mail 1 is to ask them to continue there enrollment 

    E-mail 2 is to confirm the enrollment is completed

    Do I understand well : Can I use a notification as autoresponder?  There is no significant difference between notificationmail and autoresponder?

    The notification is for you to receive notifications each time the form is submitted. The autoresponder, is to send a notification to the person that fills the form.

    Hi BDavid,

    Sorry, I now see my question is not clear. I meant to ask: Can I send answer based e-mails to the person that fills the form? The link you gave me is about notification e-mails. 

    The difference in purpose between notification and autoresponder is clear but the given information doesn't make clear, to me, the difference in behaviour and possibitities. Is there a reason why I can't or shouldn't send notification e-mails to the person that fills the form?

    Hi,

    As my colleague said, the notification email is for you. When your form is submitted, you will receive a notification email. 

    If you want to send an email to the person that fills the form, you can use autoresponder email. You can create two different autoresponder emails. As you said, Autoresponder 1 is to ask them to continue there enrollment, Autoresponder 2 is to confirm the enrollment is completed. And you can set conditions to send them to different people. 

    I have created a test form and set conditions to send autoresponders to different people. You can view it: https://form.jotform.com/82902378223962

    You can see the steps below:

    Aha, thanks a lot. Now I get it! 

    The misunderstanding arose from the Dutch translation.  I wrongly understood conditional mail was only for notifications.  Had a bit trouble to pass that thought :-)
