If you need your form submitters to get an instant pre-written reply or a copy of their data, you can use Autoresponder. By default, when a respondent replies to your autoresponder email, the message is sent to your email address.
The Form Builder automatically creates an autoresponder email once you add an Email element to your form.
To create or edit your autoresponder email
- In the Form Builder, go to Settings at the top.
- Select Emails on the left.
- Choose whether to create or edit an Autoresponder.
- To create an Autoresponder, click Add an email, then select Autoresponder Email.
- To edit an Autoresponder, select its pencil icon.
- Customize your autoresponder 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 the recipients and other email information, edit your autoresponder, 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.
- Reply-to Email — The address where the message is sent when recipients reply to your autoresponder email.
- Recipient Email — Mapped to one of your form’s email fields, this is the address where the autoresponder email is sent after submission.
Accessing Advanced Options
The Autoresponder’s Advanced tab holds additional options for your autoresponder like changing the sender address and adding file attachments to name a few.
To view advanced options, edit your autoresponder, then go to Advanced at the top.
Here are the available options:
- Send Email When — Triggers for sending the autoresponder email.
- PDF Attachment — Add PDF documents to your email.
- Attach a File — Attach a file to your email.
- Send Emails Later — Delay or schedule sending the email.
- Hide Empty Fields — Exclude empty fields in your email when turned on.
- Update Email — The email template ignores changes on your form when turned off.
- Sender Email — Send the email using your SMTP server instead of Jotform’s servers. To learn more, see Adding a Custom Sender Address and Setting Up SMTP.

This guide seems to show that all form fields are displayed in the autoresponder email, however I've just created an autoresponder email and that is not the case. It only shows the message 'Your submission has been received. Thanks for filling out {form_title}.' I did a test email and it shows the same. How do we make the autoresponder show all form fields so that the submitter knows what information they have submitted?

On the email test sent from the auto responder, at the end, there are two options for editing the form:
You can edit this submission and view all your submissions easily.
How can I choose only the option: edit this submission
Thanks

Autoresponder emails only uses form fields. In my case I use jotform for sending out contract and I want to be able to send them the whole contract (including the fields they filled out and the terms of services defined in the contract, and have the ability to either attach a pdf copy of it or have them download the copy themselves. is there any way to do that?

Is there a way to track and see how our autoresponder emails performed? Basic open and click through rates is what I'm looking for.
Thank you

We did some test submissions of our registration form, and our club is receiving the notification emails when the form is filled out and submitted, but not everyone that filled out the form receives the autoresponder email. Seems that anyone that has their email with Bellsouth.net does not get the autoresponder.

If we set up Autoresponder emails but then disable the form - do the emails that are set to be sent at a later date still get sent? We use forms for pre-orders and then disable the forms to stop any additional submissions from coming in, however, we have Autoresponder emails set up for later dates to remind people to pick up their orders and fill out feedback forms. If the form itself is disabled will these still send?

I can not set up an autoresponder to send an email notifications that the "form has been submitted" and what was submitted. I do not have the "email" feature to add....on the drop-down menu.

If you set up an auto response for a later date or "next day" at what time does that email get sent out?
