Hide Empty Fields on Custom Email Notifications.

    Can I use conditional logic to control what fields are shown on the email notification? I have a form that will have several fields empty at any given time. I would rather not show the label for those fields with empty data. Thanks!

    If you do not want to show empty field in your notifications, simply enable that option:

    1) Go to the edit mode of your form

    2) Click on Preferences

    3) Click on Advance Settings

    4) Enable the Hide Empty Fields on Emails option

    This is great to know about! It says that this feature only works with the default email notifier. Can you offer suggestions to use this feature with my custom notifications? Thanks!

    Unfortunately, this can not be done on custom notifications, I will submit a request to our  second level to have this option, but there is no guarantee it will be approved, and if gets approved, there is no estimated time-frame for it's implementation.

    I would recommend you to required all fields in order to avoid empty fields in your custom notification.

    Thanks for sending on! I can't require the fields. I basically have three subscription options (called "Payment Schedules") in the form. Each option has its own set of unique fields. If they choose one subscription option, there will be two hidden sets of fields for the other non-selected options that cannot be required (because they'll never been seen, used or even needed).

    Thanks!
