Notifications automatically email you or your specified recipients when a user submits an entry to your web form. By default, when you reply to a notification email, the message goes 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
- In the Form Builder, go to Settings at the top.
- Select Emails on the left.
- Choose whether to create or edit a Notification.
- To create a Notification, click Add an email, then select Notification Email. The Starter (Free) plan is limited to one Notification for each form. To learn more, see Understanding Your Account Usage and Limits.
- To edit a Notification, select its pencil icon.
- Customize your notification email in the editor. To learn more, see Editing Email Templates.
The Test Email button always sends the test email to your account’s email address. To check other recipients, send a test entry to your form.
Changing Email Recipients
To change recipients and other email information, edit your notification, then go to Recipients at the top.
Here are the available options in the Recipients tab:
- Sender Name — The “from” name that appears in the email. You can map it to one of your form’s supported fields.
- Reply-to Email — Mapped to one of your form’s Email elements by default. You can set it to one of your form’s supported fields.
- Recipient Email — It’s set to your account’s email address by default. You can change it or add more recipients. The Starter (Free) plan is limited to one recipient. Paid accounts can add up to 10 recipients.
Accessing Advanced Options
The Notification’s Advanced tab holds additional options for your email notifications like changing the sender address and adding file attachments to name a few.
To view advanced options, edit your notification, then go to Advanced at the top.

I don't see a Notification to edit in the "Email" section of my form. There's only the Autoresponder that I customized. As a free user, can I not turn off the automatic notification?

Can we have an notification email sent when the form has a sync error? I can't see this option but it would be great to have this standardised.

I have different Managers (Recipients) that would need to be notified for the one Form. They don't need a notification to view all completed forms of that same form; only to view from particular Supervisors. Is there a way to filter out the notification emails so they can only receive from certain individuals rather than receiving from all?
e.g. if one of the fields in my form was titled 'Division' and the answers when completing the form were preset to A B C or D - the email mapping would be 'Division' > A > enter recipients OR 'Division' > B > enter recipients.
Grouping recipients to only receive completed forms from A B C or D rather than all would be a great addition.
If it already does this would love to know how to do action

We would like to use the internal messaging feature on a form to communicate with the person filling out the form. How can we set up a notification that lets us know when someone has sent a message or reply, and also notifies them when we have sent a message or reply?

When someone fills out my form I get an email notification, then when another person sends an email I get another notification as a continuation to the previous email. Is there a way that I can get separate emails for each submission?

How do you remove the "edit this submission" option.
Once people submit an order I do not want them to be able to edit it.

We have a questionnaire for our employees to fill out and we want them to put in the email of their supervisor so that when they hit submit it will send the email directly to their supervisor. Is there a way to do setup the Notification so that the "recipient email" looks at the "supervisor email" for where to send it. Right now it looks like we have to manually type it in. We have too many variables here to use the dropdown method. Please advise.

Is there a limit to the email notification? I have a long form. When I create the email template, it does not recognize many of the last fields.

Hello,
I had over 20 email recipients that my form sent to. When I went to make some changes, all my recipients are gone and it says I can only add 10 recipients back. Is there anyway to get my whole list added? Approximately 25 emails?

How can the recipient email be dynamic based on the form responses? This method forces me to have it be the same each email.
