Common Questions

Can I view form entry details directly from my email inbox instead of logging in?

Yes! You can get form entry details sent directly to your email by setting up an email notification for a Submit action on your form:

  1. Log in to your account and open the builder canvas for your form.
  2. Click Workflow, then open the Action Settings for the Submit action.
  3. Select or add an email notification under Send Emails. In the dialog that appears, add your email address to the To section, and check the Entry Details box in the Include? section.
  4. Make sure to save both the email dialog and your form.

Now when someone submits your form, you’ll automatically receive an email with details from their submission.
