Tracking the IP addresses of form respondents helps you understand the location of submissions, improve security, and verify authenticity. When you view your submissions, the IP address is displayed alongside other data submitted by form respondents, making it easy to review. Jotform offers several ways to check these addresses, including adding them to reports or sending them directly to your email. This feature is valuable for maintaining data integrity and identifying potential issues.
Viewing Submission IP in Jotform Tables
The Submission IP is a built-in column in Jotform Tables but is hidden by default. To include it in your table, follow these steps:
- In Jotform Tables, click on Columns on the upper-right side of the page.
- In the Show/Hide Columns menu, check the box next to Submission IP. You can use the search bar to find it easily.
The Submission IP column will now appear, displaying the IP addresses for each entry.
Adding the IP Address to Email Notifications
You can enhance the security and traceability of email notifications by including the IP address of your form respondents. To add it when creating or editing the Notification Email, follow these steps:
- In the Email tab of the Notification Email settings, place your cursor in the Email Content text area where the IP address should appear.
- Then, click on Form Fields on the right of the editing toolbars at the top.
- In the Form Fields menu, select IP Address.
- Click on Save to apply the changes.
Adding the IP Address to Form Reports
You can also include the submission IP address in different form reports. To do this, check the box next to the Submission IP option in the Fields section when configuring your report.

Website real estate is limited and everything you add to your site has to justify its existence in some way. I think that a feedback form definitely does justify its existence in an important way because it ensures potential customers that you're there for them. I think that its sometimes a hard sell to add anything else to your website because in the rush to add Facebook and Twitter buttons and all kinds of sharing buttons to websites a lot of important real estate has been covered in useless buttons. I think that its really only about Facebook for businesses and this is illustrated by the number of companies listed at that have emerged that help businesses advertise on Facebook. The only downside to adding a feedback form is that the number of repetitive questions you get will definitely skyrocket and will take up more of your time. But this is counterbalanced by the increased sales potential and the likelyhood that you will figure out what problem areas you have and improve your site for your customers.
