Form Autoresponders

    I have a "Main Form" that is the form that people use after a first form registration. So far so good.

    I would like to send a confirmation (autoresponder) email with the PDF attached of the submitted form. I looked in help and that is a feature (thank you). 

    I have a few questions related to this:

     

    1) When I click on the main form to setup the autoresponder (that is, "thanks for your submission") , I don't have the attach option, I only have the "send on editing submission" checkbox. 

     

    2) What is the "send on editing submission" box? How is that different than the normal autoresponder when a form is completed?

    2A)

    Do we need to have TWO autoresponders? One for people while they are saving/filling out, and one when they are done (that attaches the PDF of the final submission data?)

    3)

    On the "Recipient email" at the bottom right, I don't have an option for the person's email because their email is not in this form -- it's in the "first form". Do I need to have them enter their email again so we can use it to email them? Or can the session somehow "remember" the attached email?

    Thank you very much as always!!!!

    David

    You need to add an Email field on your form. Then you can edit your autoresponder as you see below:
