Form Confirmation Emails

Set up a confirmation email to send to app users upon submitting a form.

Written by Dan Dawson

Form actions allow for an email to be sent to app users when they submit a form. An example of this in effect would be a confirmation email sent to an app user upon an absentee submission being made.
​
Let's go over the steps to set up your own email action to app users:
​
​

  1. Open an existing form you would like to add a confirmation email to.

  2. Ensure that the form has a *required user email field (See below).

3. Update any changes to your form and click on the 'Settings' tab at the top of the page.

4. Click 'Actions & Notifications' in the side menu.

5. Click the blue email icon to create a new email action.

6. This will create a new email action and present you with some settings to adjust.

7. Name your action 'Confirmation Email' or any other name you would like.
​
8. Enter your own email subject and message (This is what the recipient will see in their email).
​
9. Click in the 'To' field. You should see a box pop up to the right with a list of your form fields.

10. Click your parent email field to insert the field ID into the 'To' box.
​
11. Update your form by clicking the update button at the top right of the page.
​

That's it!

You've successfully created a confirmation email. If you'd like to confirm that it's working, you can make a test submission within your app.
