I've set up an auto-response email, but it does not seem to work

    In on of the pages, there are two fields to write an email address. I've set the "Auto-response" email to be the "Email (School)" one, but it does not work. 

    I've set up an auto-response email in another form and that has worked, so I'm a little confused with how to fix this. Thanks!

    Hi,

    I made a test submission using your jotform http://www.jotform.me/form/42938902921460

    I was able to received the Autoresponder email just fine on the email address I provided.

    Please take note that you did NOT set the Email fields as *Required fields. So, it is possible the form respondent will not fill-in the email address and leave them blank and submit the form.

    If there is no email address the autoresponder email will not be able to reach the target recipient.

    I suggest you make the Email field mandatory to force the form respondent to provide email address.

    You can also now review all the sent emails of your forms using the Email History logs.

    Hope this help. Please inform us if you need further assistance.

    Thank you for the quick reply! I just realized that the email was sent to
    "Spam" in my email when I tested the form. Is there a way in Jotform to
    prevent the content from being tracked as "Spam"?

    Thank you for your help! I realized that it was actually a matter of the
    content of the message that tracked it to be Spam.
    But, i've a separate question now regarding the* "Progress Bar"*. It seems
    to always show 2 extra fields are not filled, when I've checked many times
    and every field has been filled. i.e. an applicant wouldn't get to fill out
    the form to 100% and that may be confusing. Please help.
    Thank you!
