Setting up Email Notifications
Setting up Email Notifications on your web forms is as easy as 1-2-3. You'll be able to get emails whenever you receive a response from your web forms including checking them out from almost anywhere.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you're trying to test the email alerts using the TEST EMAIL button, please note that this will always send the email to the email address that is registered with your JotForm account. Instead, you must make an actual submission on your live form to test the newly added recipient email address.
Please refer to this guide for more information: How to Properly Add Change and Test a New Email Recipient Address.
1. Click SETTINGS at the top of the Form Builder.
2. Next, click EMAILS on the left nav.
3. Click the PLUS + icon.
4. Then, select NOTIFICATION EMAIL.
Each section is separated by tabs:
(Left) EMAIL tab: This is where you can make changes the email template and subject header.
Related guide: How to Edit the Email Template for Notifications and Autoresponders
(Middle) RECIPIENTS tab: Here you can define the recipient email address(es) for where you want to receive an emailed notification about a new submission from your form. You can also set the Sender Name and Reply-To Email.
Related guide: How to Find and Change the Email Address Used for Notification Email
(Right) ADVANCED tab: In the advanced tab you can change here the Sender Email Address and other email settings.
In some instances, you may also choose to implement your own custom email as the Sender E-mail Address. If that's the case, you can refer to this guide on How to Add a Custom Sender Address to an Email Alert.
Additionally, if you're having issues with your emails not being received, we recommend you check out this guide on How to Prevent Email Bouncing Related Issues.
NOTE: If you're looking for a way to setup a text only email, this is not possible anymore. The new wizard will allow you to only change the HTML email, text only emails are actually no longer used as mobile devices are becoming more common and all can open HTML-based emails without issues.

This didn't work for me. I'm not fond of paying for an upgrade and then not receiving an upgrade. What level to I need to add one more recipient email?
I am having to approve every email to enable them to access the voting form. This didn't happen last year!
What did I set up incorrectly?
I have a fixed set of people who give me some feedbacks.
Within the form, can my people select there name from a drop box , and fill the form?
post submission, based on the name selected, they should receive an completed form via SMS and email.
Example: Mr John is filling the form, then he should be able to select his name from the drop box. and post submission, John should receive the SMS Notification and email notification.
Hello,
Can the completed form be sent to a recipient in a PDF format.
thanks
Hello,
Why doesn’t my form have a submit button at the bottom of the form?
I can send the form but can’t compete it when it is sent to a recipient.

I was getting a PDF attachment along with the text & email notifications when someone completed a form. I changed the email address to another colleague in our club and now they report that they're not getting the PDF?
The system will not allow me to save new notifications - I have tried multiple browsers and none of them hold my preference changes.
I have been sent a text with a form, how do i read this form
Is it possible to have the recipients to be BCC?
I want the form to be sent to multiple contractors, but I don't want them to see each other's emails.
Thank you Jotform. Happy New Year
I am not getting the name and email on my forms. The notification does not notify me of the data.
This is not working for me, I am not receiving form submissions to the provided email address. Help!
Can I receive an attachment in the notification email? I intend to have an upload question in the forms and would like to receive the file uploaded as an attachment in the notification email.

There are two ways you can get push notifications for your important emails in iOS 12 : You can specify individual contacts that will generate a push notification, or you can allow all emails from a particular email account to generate push notifications. We'll explore both of these options.
Hello,
I have a plan to use many forms, and can I set up notifications to go to the email for only certain forms? Some are more important than others.
Thank you for your help.
I want my obligation fee back since I can't get the loan .it's been a whole day
Why this my account is not valid?
Hi there,
I see in the recipient's email here you can add multiple emails.
I need this option so I can prove later on that the client who is filling out the form has also received the email.
Unfortunately, under the Recipient Email field on my forms, I can chose only one email, there is no option for multiple emails to be added.
Why is that?
What can I do to have multiple emails?
I need the same email to go to a few recipients, so any recipient can see that the other recipients have received the email.
Thank you!
Anton
