creating an auto response for an email form

The email form sends the form owner an email once data is submitted in to the form, but what about the form filler? What happens if we want the form filler to get an auto response email once he fills in the form? Some kind of validation for his entered data, a message (like: we are out of the office, we will get in touch tomorrow) or even a simple thanks.

When using a form builder the email to the form owner is sent by default. In order to have the form filler get an auto response you will need to:

1-       have an “email element” in the form

2-      

select the element and make sure that the “send copy” option is checked in its settings

 

 

 

The “send copy” option sends a carbon copy of the data entered in the form to the form filler. This email has a fixed format but you can add text to beginning of this layout by using the “email user message” or decide to customize the email altogether by using the “Custom User Email”.

In the “email user message” option only text may be inserted in to the existing email. There can be no alteration of style and the email format in this option.

In the

“Custom User Email” option you can create your own responder from scratch. Writing the text, adding form variables (if you wish the email to show the form filler’s name or other fields that he filled in), and styling the form are all available in this option.
