Email notifications
Form submissions to email — instantly, beautifully formatted
FormSubmit emails every new submission to the form owner the moment it arrives. Add extra recipients (each confirms their address once), customise the subject and body with {{field}} variables, and reply straight to the person who filled the form — the reply-to header is set to their email automatically.
Readable by default
Fields are laid out as a tidy two-column table with human-friendly labels, attachments listed as secure links and a button that opens the submission in your dashboard.
Multiple recipients
Send to the whole team. Every additional address is verified with a one-click confirmation link so nobody can use your form to spam an inbox.
Templates with variables
Write a subject like “New lead from {{name}} ({{company}})” and an optional intro paragraph. Any submitted field can be referenced.
Reply to the sender
We set Reply-To to the submitter’s email (from _replyto or any email field), so answering a lead is one click.
Daily or weekly digests
High-volume form? Switch a form to a daily or weekly digest instead of one email per submission.
Deliverability handled
Emails are sent through a reputable transactional provider with SPF, DKIM and DMARC aligned for formsubmit.app — no SMTP credentials on your side.

Who receives the notification emails?
The account owner by default, plus any extra recipients you add to the form. Extra recipients must confirm their address before they start receiving emails.
Can I turn off per-submission emails?
Yes. You can disable notifications entirely, or switch to a daily or weekly digest that summarises new submissions.
Do emails show FormSubmit branding?
Free and Starter plans include a small “Sent by FormSubmit” line in the footer. Pro and Business plans remove it.
