It's the same thing as Auto-Responses. Respondent email notifications are only available on the **Professional** and **Business** plans. ## How to enable respondant email notifications Go to the form you want to enable self email notifications for and navigate to the `Settings` tab.

Navigate to `Email configuration` section, and enable the toggle.

From there, you can customize the email that will be sent to the respondent. Click on the `Edit template` button to customize the email.

You can use variables in the `From name`, `Subject`, and `Message` fields. Type `@` to insert a variable. * `@Form name` inserts the form name. * `@Submitted at` inserts the submission timestamp. * Hosted form fields appear as variables using their field labels. For example, a `First Name` field appears as `@First Name`. * Endpoint form field variables appear after the form has received its first processed submission. Example subject: ```txt theme={null} Thanks for contacting @Form name, @First Name ```

The input you collect your users email from must be named as email, otherwise this feature won’t work. ```html theme={null} ``` Done, now every time a customer submits a message to your form, they will get an auto response email notification.
