Tally offers two types of email notifications: self email notifications and respondent email notifications. With self email notifications, you will receive an email each time someone submits your form.
Self email notifications are available for free to all Tally users.
Tally Pro users can fully customize email notifications.
How it works
Go to your form settings and scroll down to
Email notifications. Here you can turn on the Self email notifications toggle to receive emails whenever someone submits your form.
By default, the email will include
@All answers entered by your respondent, empty questions will not be included. Tally Pro users can customize every email field by simply typing text or clicking @ to insert data from their form. You can insert input, hidden, or calculated fields to create dynamic emails.
