You can configure optional Notification emails that are sent when a form is submitted.

User Notifications

The User Notification option allows you to automatically send an instant, one-time auto-responder message to the user submitting the form.

• To create a user notification, click Forms in the WordPress sidebar and click on your form to edit it.
• Hover over Settings in the menu and select Notifications.

Special Note

If your form has a document upload field DO NOT check the “Attach uploaded file to notification” box next to Attachments for your notifications. Using {all_fields} or choosing the document from the dynamic fields in the dropdown will provide a link to the document. The “Attach uploaded file to notification” option causes a conflict with Wake Forest’s email handling system and will generate an error when the user tries to complete your form.
