    Hi Ally,

    Thanks for reaching out to us for help. I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

    If your follow-up email is not working properly, it might be related to how the Notification or Autoresponder emails are set up in your form. Let me show you how to fix common issues with Notification Emails:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Settings in the orange navigation bar at the top.
    2. Click on Emails in the menu on the left side.
    3. Hover over the Notification email, click the Gear icon, then click the Trash Can icon to delete it.
    4. Confirm deletion by clicking Delete.

    Now, add a new Notification Email:

    1. While still in Emails, click Add Email and select Notification Email.
    2. Customize the new notification email as needed and click Save.

    This process often resolves issues with follow-up emails not sending properly.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
