How to Set Reminder Emails for Your Forms

December 23, 2025

With Jotform, it’s easy to send reminder emails so people don’t forget to fill out your form. You can set a schedule, add your own message, and Jotform will take care of the rest—no need to follow up manually.


Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, setting up reminder emails on your form only takes a minute. Here’s how:

  1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Publish.
  2. Then, click on Emails on the left side of the screen, and select the Schedule A Reminder Email.

  1. Next, under the Email tab, set up these things:
    • Email Subject — Set the subject line that will appear in the recipient’s inbox.
    • Email Content — Edit the body of the email, including the layout and information included in the message.

  1. Then, under the Recipients tab, fill in these details:
    • Sender Name — The name that will appear as the sender of the email.
    • Reply-to Email — The email address where replies will be directed.
    • Recipient Email — The email address that will receive the notification.

  1. Now, under the Schedule tab, configure these things:
    • Repeats — Choose how often you want the reminder email to be sent. You can pick Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
    • Send Date —  The options here depend on what you selected for Repeats. For example, if you chose Daily, you’ll see options like Weekdays, Weekends, or Every day. If you choose Weekly, you’ll be able to pick specific days of the week.
    • Send Time —  Choose the time you’d like the reminder email to go out. You can pick from any hourly time slot.
    • Timezone —  This will default to the timezone set in your account settings.
    • Start Date —  Select when you want the reminder emails to begin.
    • End Date —  Select when you want them to stop.
  2. Finally, click on Save at the bottom of the page, and you’re all set.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully set up reminder emails for your form. You’ll now see a list of the reminders you’ve created, along with the Create a New Reminder Email button. To make changes, just hover over a reminder email and click on the pencil icon to edit or the trash icon to delete it.

Note

  • While you can add URLs to the email, it may affect deliverability due to spam protection rules. Also, you won’t be able to change the style of the form link button.
  • The Starter (Free) plan is limited to one recipient. Paid accounts can add up to 10 recipients.
  • You can create up to three reminder emails per form with a paid account. Just click Create a New Reminder Email to set up additional reminders.
