    Hi There,

    When I go into tables for this form:

    https://www.jotform.com/tables/230656938376065/252568046839065

    I set up an email button and have tried to create an email template to send to the names in tables who have submitted this form.

    However I cannot change these details.

    I need the recipient email to the client, not us.


    Where am I going wrong?

    Thanks

    Hi Natalie! It looks like the recipient email is currently set to a fixed address instead of pulling from the client emails in your submissions. To send emails to the clients who submitted the form, you’ll want to configure the recipient email field in your email template to use the email field from your form data. If you want, you can explore the guide shown below to get a clearer idea on how to set up sending notifications to multiple recipients based on your table entries. Let me know if you want me to help you with the steps!

    Hi Natalie,

    In Jotform Tables, when you use the Send Email feature, you need to link the Recipient Email field to the actual email field from your form submission data. Right now, the recipient is set manually to your own email address. To fix this, click on the dropdown inside the Recipient Email field and select the column from your form submissions that contains the client’s email addresses. This way, each client who submits the form will automatically receive the email you’ve set up. You can easily send submission details by adding an Email Button to your Jotform Table. Let me show you how:

    1. In Jotform Tables, click on the Add button at the end of the rows, and click on the Buttons tab.
    2. Now, select Send Email, click on Next, and enter a column name, then click on Next again.
    3. Select the email you want, or click on the Create an Email button to set up a new one as needed.
    4. Then, click on the Create Column button, and you're done. Sending an email in tables Image 1 Screenshot 30

    Now, when you click on the Send Email button, the email you configured will be sent, similar to the example below:Sending an email in tables Image 2 Screenshot 41You can also check out How to Send Email With Form Data in Jotform Tables guide for more information.

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any other help.

    Hi Natalie,

    I checked your form, and it appears that you don't have an Autoresponder email. Check out my screenshot below:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Settings on the orange navigation bar at the top of the page and select Emails
    2. Click on Add Email and select Autoresponder email.
    3. Lastly, click on Save at the bottom. Sending an email in tables Image 2 Screenshot 61
