Sending an Email on Form Submission | Zoho Creator Help

Understanding sending an email notification

Understanding sending an email notification on form submission

You can enable your users to automatically receive an email notification when they submit an entry through your form. Most importantly you can send this email from a different From address (learn more) and include in the email the data your users submit.

Learn how to enable sending email on form submission

Notes
Note: To ensure that your users don't accidentally submit forms upon clicking Enter/Return button on their devices,
you (super-admin/admin) can enable the Confirm form submission form property. This opens a popup requesting users to acknowledge their confirmation to submit the form, before actually proceeding to form submission.

Available customizations

To improve email deliverability, we will be following Gmail's updated sender email policy starting from February 1, 2024. This means that Gmail addresses cannot be used as a sender address in the send mail tasks. Learn More

You can customize this email notification as follows:

    • The admin user's email address
    • The logged-in user's email address
    • A verified email address. Learn more

Send your emails from a different From address

You can send emails from your apps from a different email address than the one you signed-up with. To do so, you'll need to verify it first — ensure that you own it and that an email address isn't being used without consent. Upon verification, it gets added as a Sender Email in your account. You can use these email addresses to send emails from all the apps (built using Creator) in your Zoho account. You can even use them in send mail tasks in your Creator apps' Deluge scripts.

To improve email deliverability, we will be following Gmail's updated sender email policy starting from February 1, 2024. This means that Gmail addresses cannot be used as a sender address in the send mail tasks. Learn More
