#  Email the Person Who Filled Out the Form

Sending a confirmation email to the user who submitted the form is a great way to instantly acknowledge that you've received their entry. Instead of typing a fixed address in the **To** field, you point it at the email the user just entered, using a [Smart Tag](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/features/smart-tags). Convert Forms then fills in the real address at send time.

## [Send the Email to the Submitter](#send-the-email-to-the-submitter)

To send a confirmation email to the person who filled out the form, follow the steps below:

1. Go to **Components → Convert Forms → Forms** and edit your form.
2. Open the **Tasks** panel and create a new Email Task (or edit an existing one). Set the **Trigger** to **New Submission** and the **Action** to **Send an Email**.
3. In the **To** option, select your Email Address field. This should usually point to `{field.email}`

4. Write a friendly **Subject** and **Body**. Personalize them with Smart Tags, for example:
    - **Subject:** `We've received your submission #{submission.id}`

    - **Body:** `Hi {field.name}, thank you for getting in touch. We'll get back to you soon. Here's a copy of what you sent us: {all_fields}`
5. Set a **From Name** and **From** address your recipients will recognize, ideally an address on your own domain for good deliverability.
6. Give the task a title, enable it, and click **Save**. Save the form.

When the form is submitted, the `{field.email}` Smart Tag automatically resolves to the address the user typed, and the confirmation lands in their inbox.

## [Tips](#tips)

- **Send both an admin notification and a confirmation.** Create two Email Tasks: one with **To** set to `{site.email}` for you, and one with **To** set to `{field.email}` for the user. See [Send Multiple Emails](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/email-notifications/auto-responder-emails#send-multiple-emails).
- **Let users reply to you.** On the confirmation email, set **Reply To Email** to your support address so replies reach your team rather than bouncing back to the user's own address.
- **Only send when requested.** If you'd rather send a copy only when the user opts in, gate the task with a checkbox. See [Send an Email Only When a Checkbox Is Checked](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/email-notifications/send-email-checkbox-checked).

## [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)

- **The email didn't arrive.** Confirm the form actually has an Email Address field and that you selected its Smart Tag (not a different field). Then work through [Troubleshooting Email Delivery](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/email-notifications/troubleshooting-email-delivery).
- **The address looks wrong or empty.** Check the field name in your Smart Tag matches the field name in the form builder exactly.
