Setting Up Email Notifications

June 26, 2023

Notifications will automatically send an email to you or to your specified recipients when someone submits an entry to your web form. By default, when you reply to a notification email, the message is sent to the form filler’s email address.

The Form Builder automatically creates an email notification for your account’s email address once you add the first element to your form.

To create or edit your email notification

  1. In the Form Builder, go to Settings at the top.
  2. Select Emails on the left.
  3. Choose whether to create or edit a Notification.
Steps to create or edit a Notification in Form Builder
  • To create a Notification, click Add an email, then select Notification Email.
    Note: The Starter (Free) plan is limited to one Notification per form. To learn more, see Understanding Your Account Usage and Limits.
  • To edit a Notification, select its pencil icon.
  1. Customize your notification email in the editor.

  • Recipient Email — It’s set to your account’s email address by default. You can change it or add more recipients.
    Note: The Starter (Free) plan is limited to one recipient. Paid accounts can add up to 10 recipients.
