Autoresponder

Write the reply once in your form settings and it goes out automatically on every genuine submission. Messages flagged as spam never trigger an autoresponse, so bots do not get free mail out of your account.

How the recipient is chosen

We use the replyto field if you send one, otherwise the first field that looks like an email address — email, e-mail, your-email, and similar. If no address can be found, the autoresponse is skipped and the notification to you still goes out.

Good acknowledgements

• Confirm what was received, briefly.
• Say when a human will reply, honestly.
• Give an alternative channel for anything urgent.
• Keep it plain text in tone — this is a receipt, not a newsletter.
