Configure the submit button

Name the button visitors will see in 'Submit button text'. Leave 'Submit button class' unchanged unless you have been given a custom class.

Step 3

Choose where submissions are sent

Enter a clear subject in 'Email subject'. Add each recipient in 'Email destination'. If you leave this blank, submissions are sent to the default email address on your account.

Set up an autoresponder

Enter the reply's subject and message in 'Autoresponder subject' and 'Autoresponder message'. Select the form's required email field in 'Email address field' so the reply reaches the visitor.

Step 5

Add a confirmation message

Under 'Post submit settings', select 'Show message / HTML' in 'Action on completion'. Enter the message visitors should see in 'Post submit message'.
