For new users in Zoho Creator, the Form Email feature leverages the integration with Zoho Mail360 to allow users to submit data to forms directly via email.
This involves configuring a mailbox in Mail360 to create a unique email domain for your organization. This acts as the backend to handle incoming emails and map them to corresponding forms.
How it works
- Mailbox configuration: Super admins set up the Mail360 mailbox, which is a one-time process.
- Create Form Email: Create a unique email address for each form and set permissions for email submissions.
- Email submission: Users submit data in the form template to the form's unique email address.
- Form record: The email content is automatically converted into records and stored in the form.

Note: Only the super admin has permission to configure Mail360 integration and create the mailbox.
To begin using the form email feature, you first need to create a mailbox in Mail360. This mailbox, used to receive emails from users, requires a one-time setup and must be unique (e.g., incorporating the organization name) across Zoho Creator. You can set this up from the
Form Email page or the
System Integrations page within the
Operations module.

Info: A mailbox once created cannot be edited later.
3.3.1. Via Form Email
- Navigate to Operations under Manage and select Form Email within Applications.

- Click Configure Mail360. The Configure Mail360 pop-up will appear.

- Enter a mailbox name as shown below to create a custom email domain for your organization, such as admin@<mailbox name>.zohocreatorapp.com. For example, 'zylker' would generate the domain admin@zylker.zohocreatorapp.com.
- Click Configure to complete the setup.


Note: If the mailbox is already set up, navigating to the feature via Operations module will redirect you to the page listing all created form emails, enabling direct configuration.
3.3.2. Via System integrations
- Navigate to Operations under Manage and click System Integrations. The system integration services will be listed.

- Click the Zoho Mail360 card, or click Enable.

- Click Enable under the configuration tab to set up the mailbox. You will be taken to the Mail360 mailbox creation page.

- Provide the Mailbox Name and click Configure to complete the setup.

Once Mail360 mailbox is set up, if you're creating an Form Email for the first time, follow the below steps to get started.
- Navigate to Form Email within Applications and click New Form Email. New Form Email pop up will appear.

- In the popup, select the Application and Form from the dropdown for which you want to enable email submissions.

- Enter a unique email address for the form and specify submission permissions.
- To allow submission from all users, click Allow from everyone.
- To allow submission from app users only, click Allow only from app users.

- Click Create to generate a new Form Email, which will then appear in the Form Email list.

- The newly created Form Email will appear in the list, as shown below.


Note:
- Once the form email is created, you may share the form email address and form template with users who need to submit data via email as needed.
- To add or create more form emails, click the +Add Form Email button at the top-right corner of the list and follow the steps above.

Disable form email:
- To disable a form email, toggle the enable button for the selected record.
- To enable the form email again, toggle the disable button.

Note: When disabled, the form can be submitted, but it will not be saved as a record.
