How to Set Up Form Submission Email Notifications in Sparkforge
Open the form in Form Builder, click the bell icon, and toggle on either the internal notification, the auto-responder to the submitter, or both. The same setup works for surveys.
Sparkforge forms can email you when someone submits, send an auto-responder to the submitter, or both. The same options apply to surveys.
Activate email notifications
- Open Sub-account → Sites → Forms → Form Builder. Add a new form or open an existing one.
- In the upper-left corner, click the bell icon.
- Toggle on either or both options:
- Email notification — sends you an email when the form is submitted.
- Auto-Responder — sends an automated message to the person who submitted the form.
- For the auto-responder, fill in:
- Subject — the subject line of the auto-reply.
- Reply-to email — where replies to the auto-reply land.
- Sender name — defaults to the location name if blank, or set a custom sender.
Test before you publish
Click Preview in the upper right and submit the form yourself. Confirm both the internal email and the auto-responder land where they should before going live.
The same notifications panel works the same way for Surveys.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I send an auto-responder and an internal notification from the same form?
Yes. The bell icon panel has separate toggles for each — turn on whichever combination you need.
What happens to the Sender name if I leave it blank?
It defaults to the location name on the sub-account. Set a custom sender name if you want the email to come from a person or brand.
Do these settings work for Surveys too?
Yes. The same notifications panel and toggles are available in the Survey Builder.
How do I test the email before going live?
Click Preview at the upper right, submit the form, and confirm both emails land. Adjust the subject, reply-to, or sender name if anything's off.
