How to Add a Custom Sender Address to an Email Alert

Last Update: 

Jotform’s default email sender works ’round the clock to deliver your emails, so your customers are immediately notified of new submissions. In some cases, you may want to deliver emails that carry your branding. For this, you might want to add a custom Sender Email Address. It’s possible, and you only need to have your SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) credentials ready. If you don’t know where to get this, we highly recommend contacting your hosting provider.

To add a custom sender email, please follow the below steps.

  1. In the Form Builder, click Settings in the top toolbar.
  2. Click the Emails tab.
  3. Hover your mouse on the notification or autoresponder email and click the Pencil Icon to edit:
