Notification email ​

Subject ​

You can change the subject of the notification email.

Create a hidden input with the name _email.subject.

html
<input type="hidden" name="_email.subject" value="You have a new message!" />

A custom template can carry its own subject line instead. When the submission also has an _email.subject field, that field takes precedence.

Sender name ​

You can change the name of the sender of the notification email.

Create a hidden input with the name _email.from.

html
<input type="hidden" name="_email.from" value="John Doe" />

The value cannot contain @, < or >. A value that breaks this rule is ignored, and the email is sent as "Formspark Notifications".

It is currently not possible to change the sender address.

Template title ​

You can change the title of the notification email template.

Create a hidden input with the name _email.template.title.

html
<input type="hidden" name="_email.template.title" value="My Custom Title" />

You can remove the title and the Formspark logo by setting the value to false.

html
<input type="hidden" name="_email.template.title" value="false" />

Dashboard button ​

Team members get a "View submission" button that opens the submission in the dashboard. You can remove it.

Create a hidden input with the name _email.template.button and the value false.

html
<input type="hidden" name="_email.template.button" value="false" />

Guests never get this button, since they cannot open the dashboard.

You can remove the footer from the notification email template.

Create a hidden input with the name _email.template.footer and the value false.

html
<input type="hidden" name="_email.template.footer" value="false" />

Guests get no footer. Their mail client offers an unsubscribe button beside the sender instead.

The title, button and footer options shape the default template. A custom template is sent exactly as you designed it, with no footer for anyone.

Custom templates ​

You can go beyond these options and design the notification email in a visual template editor, built in partnership with Postcraft.

Check this page to learn more about custom email templates.

You can write the same template from your own code instead. See templates in the API reference.

Autoresponder ​

Notification emails go to you; the autoresponder sends a confirmation email to the person who submitted your form.
