Setting Up Notification Emails in Gravity Forms - The Definitive Guide

Welcome back! Dustin here from the Gravity team 👋

In this video, we’ll walk you through how to configure email notifications in Gravity Forms so you never miss a form submission—and your users stay in the loop too. Whether you're handling job applications, contact forms, or any kind of user input, setting up notifications is a must.

🔧 What you'll learn:

-How to send emails to different recipients based on user input (conditional routing)
-How to notify applicants with automated emails
-Using merge tags to personalize emails (From Name, Email, etc.)
-Best practices for email deliverability
-Attaching uploaded files (like resumes or cover letters) to notifications
-How to use conditional logic for more advanced notification rules

We’ll demo this using an employment application form with dynamic routing to team leads based on the position applied for—plus a confirmation email for the applicant. It's everything you need to know to get started with smart, reliable notifications!

💡 Don’t forget: always test your notifications before going live to ensure everything’s working smoothly.
