Auto-reply

Send an automatic confirmation email to whoever submits your form, with a subject and message you control. Runs on clean submissions only; no email service to set up.

Pro plan: Auto-reply is available on the Pro plan. Turn it on per form in the form's settings.

Turn it on

Open your form's Settings, enable Auto-reply to the submitter, and write a subject and message. It sends on every clean submission that carries an email address.

Personalize with placeholders

Use {{field}}tokens to drop submitted values into the subject or message. Field names match your form input's name. Unknown fields render as empty.

message
Subject:  Thanks, {{name}}!

Hi {{name}},

We got your message and will reply within one business day.

How the address is found

ShipMyForm picks the submitter's address from the submission: a field whose name contains email first, otherwise the first email-looking value (including the _replytoreserved field). If there's no address, the auto-reply is skipped — the submission is still stored and delivered as normal.

Spam never gets a reply: Auto-reply only fires for clean submissions. Anything flagged or caught by spam filtering is skipped, so bots can't trigger confirmation emails (or bounce-backs to forged addresses).
