Using Emails to Confirm Form Submissions

  • Updated

Confirmation emails help reassure your contacts that you've successfully received their Form submissions. Use confirmation emails to eliminate uncertainty and acknowledge when your contacts submit your Form to register for webinars, download gated media content, and more.

You can attach a confirmation email to your Form in the Act-On Forms Composer. The Forms Composer will redirect you to the Email Composer to create a new confirmation email or edit an email already attached to your Form.

You can also access the Confirmation Email Report to view or download metrics on your confirmation email's open and click rates, launch details, and engagement data.
