We use airtable a lot for people to fill out forms.

Is there a way to have them receive an email receipt of some sort so they know the submission went through?  I think I have it set up to tell them Submission Received, at the end, but they are missing it and then filling it out again.  I’m not sure if it’s a easy fix and I’m just not seeing it or if it’s not there.  

 

And, I guess if it is there and I’m missing it, is it only for paid memberships or free as well.  I have a personal account that is a free account, but had the same issue there as I do with the other.

    Hey ​@tzuhouse,

    You will want to create an automation that will get triggered when a form is submitted.

     

     
    You will then have a send an email (or gmail or outlook) action block, where you’ll map the email address of the person who submitted the form.

    Completely different matter, but would love to have you join our Airtable Hackathon! Make sure to sign up!!

    If the people filling out the form have Airtable accounts, you could try using a Form View and toggling on ‘Allow people to request a copy’:

    This is available on both free and paid plans

    If they don’t have Airtable accounts, then I'm afraid you’re stuck using an automation like Mike said.  The Free plan has 100 automation runs, so you’d be able to send out up to 100 email receipts

    I would recommend checking out the miniExtensions Form for this.

    It has built-in functionality to send a confirmation to the user who filled out the form, as well as sending a confirmation to the admin, if needed.  But that’s really just one of many features that are supported out of the box. Definitely worth a look!
