# Notifications

You can add **email notifications** under the settings tab. While you could do this with [submit flows](/content/docs/form-editor/submission-flow/index.html), for simple email notifications you can use this built-in feature.

## Setting Up Email Notifications

### Accessing Email Settings

1. Open your form in the form editor  
2. Navigate to the **Settings** tab  
3. Find the **Emails** card  
4. Click **“Add email notification”**

### Configuring Email Notifications

Once you’ve added an email notification, you can configure:

#### Subject

Set the email subject line. You can reference form fields using `{{question_key}}` syntax:

**Examples:**

- `New submission from {{name}}`
- `Contact form submission - {{subject}}`
- `New order: {{order_number}}`

#### Recipients

You can add multiple receipts by typing their email address in the recipients field and clicking “Add email”.

#### From Email Address

You can set a “from” email address from one of the form questions. This allows you to:

- Reply directly to the submitter
- Use the submitter’s email as the sender
- Customize the sender based on form answers

Select an email question from your form to use as the “from” address.

#### Email Content

Type out the email content in the body field. You can reference form fields by using `{{question_key}}` syntax:

**Example:**

```
Hi {{name}},

Thank you for your submission! We received the following information:

Name: {{name}}
Email: {{email}}
Message: {{message}}

We'll get back to you soon!

Best regards,
The Team
```

## When to Use Email Notifications vs Submission Flows

### Use Email Notifications When:

- You need simple email notifications

### Use Submission Flows When:

- You need complex logic or conditional email sending
- You want to integrate with external services
- You need to process data before sending emails
- You require advanced automation beyond simple notifications

Checkout the [Submission Flow](/content/docs/form-editor/submission-flow/index.html) documentation to learn more.

## Multiple Email Notifications

You can add multiple email notifications to a single form. Each notification can have:

- Different recipients
- Different subjects
- Different content
- Different “from” addresses

This allows you to:

- Send notifications to different teams based on submission type
- Send different emails to different recipients
- Customize notifications for different scenarios

## Next Steps
