How can I prevent submissions from going through Jotform?

    Our church wants to set up forms that submissions will only be sent to committee's private email. We do not want submissions to be viewable in Jotform.

    I've searched the forum, etc. and cannot find the answer.

    Thanks,

    CJ

    I am sorry to say that it is not possible with JotForm. However, I suggest you use the Auto Delete Submissions application. At that time, it will delete new form submissions instantly as soon as they are received.

    If you have any question or issues, please do not hesitate contacting us. We will be glad to assist you.

    Thanks for your response. We do not want to stop submission notifications

    Thanks for the response, but what I'm trying to accomplish is that the
    recipient of the email is the only one that receives a notification.

    @CJ,

    By using the app Auto Delete Submissions as already suggested by our colleague, the submission shall be deleted immediately after receiving it. You may setup an email notification in order to receive the submission data to the private email address. Once the form is submitted, the notification shall be sent to your email address and then the submission shall be deleted automatically from JotForm servers.

    You may also consider using integrating Google Spreadsheet/Google Drive/DropBox so that the submission shall be stored in your account as a backup in any case if you do not receive the email.

    Hope this information helps! Please get back to us if you need any further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thanks for the info. When I went to download the app I checked the reviews
    and it appears the app often does not work as intended. Have these bugs
    been fixed?
    Sincerely,

    The app is nothing but it works online from the URL http://auto-delete.jotform.io/. You'll need to authorize your JotForm account and add the form required to delete the submissions. If your form has any upload fields and if any submissions have uploaded files, these files cannot be deleted using this app. If your form is not having any upload fields, the app is working fine with my recent tests. 

    Hope this information helps!
