    Hi Colin,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Yes, you can send an email based on a user's answer. First, you will have to create an Autoresponder Email for when the user checks the box. Let me show you how to do it

    1. IForm Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on Emails.
    3. Now, click on Add an Email.
    4. Next, select Autoresponder Email.
    5. Customize the options the way you want them and you’re done.

    Next, set the Autoresponder Email based on the answers from form submitters. Here's how:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. Click on Conditions on the left.
