**Question:**  
How to create email trigger for custom form.  
Once the customer has uploaded their file to my custom form, I want them to receive an automated trigger email saying thanks. How do i get their email, to use in a email trigger?

**Product:**  
Wix studio

**What are you trying to achieve:**  
Once the customer has uploaded their file to my custom form, I want them to receive an automated trigger email saying thanks.  
The custom form dynamically pulls the customers orderid & email address (from a link they received in their email confirmation on purchase that links to the page/custom form).

**What have you already tried:**  
I would use the automations feature but it only works for wix forms (plugin) and my form uses a custom form.

**Additional information:**  
I know it could be easier if the customer also filled in their email in the form but I want to reduce as many steps for the customer as possible.

Thank you!
