Hi, @Peg_Babcock !!

I haven’t checked, but this seems like something that could probably be handled with Automations. :innocent: Wix’s automation features have developed quite a lot recently, so for common use cases like this, there’s a good chance it’s already supported. If it turns out that Automations can’t cover it, you could attach a data hook to the collection where the form submissions are stored, detect when a new form is submitted, and then send a confirmation email with the form details via code at that timing. :raising_hands:

Thanks. I’ve tried the automations, but it will only send a customized message to the sender. I want a copy of the form to go to the sender.

There is currently a feature request to allow for sending a PDF version of the form to the person submitting a form. This had been a feature of the old Wix forms that, for some reason, was left out when creating the new Wix forms. You can see the feature request here and vote for it: Wix Forms Request: Receiving a PDF Copy of Form Submissions in the Email Notification | Help Center | Wix.com . Hopefully, they will fix this soon.

This article purports to show a workaround that will allow you to send content collected on the form within the automated email, but I’m not sure I understand how it works. See ‘personalized content’ in the FAQ section. Let us know if it works for you.

Thank you Dena. I looked at that article also and decided to wait for the “fix”.
