# Notifications

> Choose who is notified when a form is submitted, and send an auto-reply

Each form controls what happens when someone submits it - who on your team hears about it, and whether the person who submitted gets a confirmation.

You'll find these options on the form itself, under **Notifications**.

### Submission notification

Choose who is told about a new submission:

* **Specific team members** - pick the people who should be notified
* **All opted-in admins** - notify every admin who has opted in to receive notifications

### External notification email

Optionally add one extra email address to notify. This is useful when a submission needs to reach an address that isn't a Marzipan user - a shared inbox, or a colleague outside the team.

### Auto-reply

Send an optional confirmation to the person who submitted the form. You customise both:

* **Subject** - the subject line of the confirmation
* **Body** - the message they receive

The auto-reply is sent using an editable notification template, so it matches the styling of your other emails.

<Tip>
  An auto-reply reassures the customer that their message landed. Pair it with the **Success message** shown on the page after they submit - see [Create](/forms/create).
</Tip>

<Note>
  For `Contact` forms, the submission also creates a thread in [Messages](/messages/overview), so you can reply properly once you've read it.
