Force an email field, surface a clear "we'll email you" line so the submitter knows what's coming.

Required email with confirmation copy

When you'd use this — any form where the submitter expects a copy of their answers (or a follow-up) by email, and the success screen should say so plainly.

1. Add a required email field

In the builder, drag an email field onto the page where you collect contact info — or onto page one for a single-page form. Set:

  • keyemail
  • Label — Email address
  • Required — on
  • Helper text — We'll email you a copy of your answers.

The email field type runs RFC 5322 light validation client-side and again on the server, so a malformed address never makes it into the submission row. The helper text renders directly under the input on the public form, which is the first place the submitter actually looks for reassurance.

2. Match the post-submit screen to the promise

After the submitter clicks Submit, the public renderer shows a thank-you screen. Edit the form's Title and Subtitle on the Theme panel so the post-submit copy lines up with the helper text — e.g. title Thanks!, subtitle A copy of your answers is on its way to your inbox. Subtitle text renders inside the form header on both the form and the confirmation state, so the reassurance survives the submit hand-off without needing any new template syntax.

If you also want the operator to receive a copy, configure that downstream in the form's notification routing — the public renderer's success screen only governs what the submitter sees.
