Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to send typeform responses to email.
Can I send Typeform responses to multiple email addresses?
Yes, Typeform allows you to add multiple email addresses to your notification settings. Simply enter each email address you want to receive notifications, and each will get a copy of every submission. This is useful for teams where multiple people need to be informed of new responses.
What if I don't receive the email notification?
First, check your spam or junk folder as notifications may be filtered there. Make sure you saved your notification settings correctly and verify the email address you entered is spelled correctly. If issues persist, test the form with a fresh submission to see if notifications work on subsequent responses.
Can I customize what information appears in the email?
Is there a way to stop receiving email notifications?
Yes, you can disable email notifications at any time by returning to your form's notification settings and toggling off the email option or deleting the email addresses. Your form will continue to collect responses, but you simply won't receive email alerts.
Do email notifications work for all Typeform question types?
Email notifications include responses from all question types in your form, including multiple choice, text fields, file uploads, and more. However, very large file uploads may not be included in the email itself but will be accessible through your Typeform responses dashboard.
