    I have two emails that should be going out automatically when a user submits the form and they don't seem to be going out now. Not sure what I did wrong.

    Hi,

     

    I checked your form and I can see you have 2 Notification email and 1 Autoresponder Email. One Notification email is being sent conditionally and also the Autoresponder. See screenshot below.

    When you say two emails, are you referring to the two conditional emails that are being sent upon submit of the form? If so, I noticed that in your Saved Conditions there are deprecated conditions (none existing fields in the conditions) can you try to remove this conditions and see if the conditional email will work?

    Do get back to us if the issue still persists or if you are referring to a different concern.

     

    Regards.

    I took a look at your form and from what I can see your autoresponder is set as conditional on the required field, to be sent only if it is filled out.

    This means that you do not need to make it conditional - since it is required, they must fill it out, or they would not be able to submit the form.

    If they must fill it out, that means that condition will always be true.

    Based on all that, I would set email autoresponder to be plain autoresponder - without any conditions on it.

    Now it is also good to point out that encrypted forms do not send email notifications nor email autoresponders as regular email do - that is just one of the 'sacrifices' of higher security measures.

    You can read more about this here: What are Encrypted Forms and how to use them as expert?

    Now going onto the second - email notification, it is not working because it is not set up properly. As it is currently set, it will not send the email at all, since it say that it should be sent as a value of some field, which is not email.

    As you can see it is pointing to {pleaseEnter} while the same field's tag is now {optionalPlease}.

    - I presume that you had it without "(optional)" text, which was added later on, but that for some reason it did not get updated. Most likely doe to the files being related to emails, while encrypted forms and emails are not something that you can combine.

    Do let us know how it goes after making the changes I have mentioned above.
