Form Submissions

View website form submissions and choose who receives email notifications.

Forms built into a Ploy site capture submissions automatically. You can review them from the site's dashboard and add one or more email addresses to receive a notification when a new submission arrives.

Receive submission notifications by email

  1. Go to Sites in Ploy.
  2. Select your site and click Dashboard.
  3. Open the Submissions tab in the left sidebar.
  4. Click Notifications in the upper-right.
  5. Enter the email address that should receive new submission notifications.
Ploy dashboard showing the Sites navigation, Submissions tab, and Notifications button highlighted in order.
Open Sites, select Submissions from the site dashboard, then click Notifications.

Repeat the last step for each teammate who should be notified about new submissions.

When a form has a field for the submitter's own email address, such as Email, Email address, Your email, or Work email, the notification email uses that address as its reply-to address. Reply to the notification to answer the submitter directly. Fields for someone else's email, such as a manager or referrer, are not used. If the form has no such field, replies go to the notification's sender as before.

Review submissions

Open Sites → your site → Dashboard → Submissions to review the submissions captured by that site. Notification settings are managed separately for each site.

Ask Ploy's Agent about submissions

Ploy's Agent can read every submission in a date range and break them down for you. For example:

  • "How do this quarter's contact form submissions break down by what people asked for help with?"
  • "How many submissions used a personal email address instead of a work one?"
