We are thrilled to announce that our new feature, email confirmation receipt has been available for all commercial customers. 

 

Form designers can allow respondents to receive an email receipt of their responses to the online survey by checking “Send email receipt to respondents” under ...”- Settings - Notification. 

 

 

Form respondents will then see the option, “Send me an email receipt of my responses,” just above the submit button. If selected, respondents will receive an email with their responses for confirmation after submission. 

 

 

Respondents will receive a confirmation email, which includes a thank you message and link to view their responses. 

 

 

 

Any limits to the email receipt feature? 

Email receipt is only available when your respondents belong to your organization and you've checked "Record Name" in Settings. 

What will happen if I delete the form or responses to the form? 

Respondents will no longer be able to access their responses via the link they receive in the confirmation email. 

Where can I provide feedback for this feature? 

We’d love to hear from you! Let us know what you think via this survey.

    Jeffrey Allen Thanks for confirming. I don't know why I'm not getting them, still same issue. Anyway as a workaround I created a workflow in MS Flow that sends the responses once received back to the responder's email which works ok. Hope I can find a solution soon.

     

    Thanks!

    jmramos, I just tested this feature on a sample form I use for teaching and it worked.  I got the email confirmation and could click to see the results.

    Hello, 

     

    Is this feature working ok for users? I don't get any emails with my responses once I submit them.

    Have checked the "Record Name" in Settings.

    Thanks.

    It is mind-boggling that the Forms team continues to release new features and still have not addressed the lack of any support for logging out once a form has been completed. They have known of this issue for over two years, with no action or viable workaround. This remains a huge issue, and completely incomprehensible as to why it has not been addressed. It is simply not viable to use the Forms product in any shared-device environment including many schools, and this is a huge privacy defect in the product. Clearly this is a product in active development. Microsoft leadership should feel ashamed at the poor management of this product and the continuing pains this glaring defect imposes on customers.
  • Awesome feature we were really waiting for especially when registering for an event a confirmation e-mail is very useful. Thanks!
