### ✅ How It Works

Once enabled:

1. Customer fills out the form
2. App verifies the email entered
3. A confirmation email is automatically sent to the customer
4. The email includes:
   * Submission details
   * Custom message you configured
   * File links (if any were uploaded)
   * Date and timestamp

This helps customers feel confident that their submission was received successfully.

* Guests → **Use element’s email**
* Logged-in customers → **Use account’s email**

#### **3- Why email is not sent to customers?**&#x20;
