How can I prevent the auto-responder from getting sent out immediately if I don't fill out a date?

Thanks for the fantastic article. How can I prevent the auto-responder from getting sent out immediately if I don't fill out a date? The problem is sometimes a date is filled in, sometimes it's not. If I don't fill in a date it will send the autoresponse immediately instead of never.

Thanks for the feedback.

In that case, you can select the "On a later date" option on the "Send emails later" dropdown directly on the autoresponder:

This will show a calendar option to select the date instead of using a Date field on the form.

Would this help?

I don't think that would solve the issue. The ideal solution would look like this:

• If date is selected schedule an autoresponder
• If no date is selected don't send

Thanks for that additional input.

Based on your last response, you can link the Date field to conditional email.

i.e. send the autoresponder only when the Date field on the form is selected.

Here is a guide on how you can create email conditions: https://www.jotform.com/help/167-how-to-send-email-based-on-users-answer

Based on the creation of such a condition, only when the date field is selected, will the email be sent.

Would this work?

I think that would work! I'll try it out and see. Thanks!
