Email notifications

Point SaveForm at any inbox and it will send a clean HTML summary every time the form is submitted. No mail server to run, no SMTP credentials, no separate integration.

How to enable

Add a hidden field called _emailTo with the destination address as its value.

HTMLcontact.html

<form action="https://saveform.io/api/submit/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <!-- One hidden field is all you need -->
  <input type="hidden" name="_emailTo" value="you@example.com" />

  <input type="text"  name="name"  required />
  <input type="email" name="email" required />
  <textarea           name="message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

What you get

A nicely formatted HTML email with a table of every field in the submission, plus a link to view it in the dashboard. Subject line includes the form name so you can filter easily.

Reply to the submitter too

Email notifications ping you when a submission lands. If you also want the person who filled out the form to get an instant acknowledgement, see Auto-reply — it is configured per form from the dashboard and supports {{field}} variables for personalisation.

Notes

The _emailTo field itself is stripped from the stored submission — it will not show up in the dashboard or in CSV exports.
Submissions marked as spam do not send an email by default.
Need per-submission routing, tickets in a CRM, or Slack/Discord notifications? Use a webhook instead — webhooks are more flexible and do not replace email notifications, they complement them.
