6 comments on “How to Customize Form Email Notifications in WPForms

  1. The template styles aren’t particularly helpful. Using the “Compact” settings, my customer prints outs the email each time. My customer has a long form that is printed out but the email is printed over 3 or 4 pages (when it scrolls over 2 on screen). There is simply too high line spacing (even on the compact one). The plain text one isn’t great at all. Could the compact one not print the same format but with line spacing of 1 only please? Or create a “Super compact” option that avoids large line spacing? My only option is to use the plain text option but its so hard to read…. my customer isn’t happy. Any help here please guys. Thanks – Wes

    1. Hi TienCong,

      It looks like you’re trying to customize how the Dropdown field looks in notification emails. We currently do not have that feature by default.

      For a personalized advice, you can get in touch with our Trusted Advisors in the support team if you have a WPForms license. Please submit a support ticket and they will get back to you as soon as possible (usually within 1 working day).

  3. The forms automatically change my region email address from .co.za to .co.nz which is very frustrating for people wanting to register for our newsletter. I am using the LITE version and there doesn’t seem to be a way around this

    1. Hey Colleen, apologies for the frustration. It looks like our trusted advisors in the support team have attended to your issue.

      Please let me know if you need additional help. Thanks!
