This tutorial will show you how to customize your WPForms notification emails.
Before getting started, you’ll need to create a new form or edit an existing one to access the form builder. Then, make sure to complete the basic form notification setup.
Accessing Email Customization Settings
To customize your email notifications, you’ll first need to go to WPForms » Settings and click on the Email tab.

Setting an Email Header Image

For the best viewing experience on all screen sizes, we recommend using an image that’s 300 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, or smaller.
After saving your settings, this image will be added to all future notification emails for your forms.
