Add the Form Mailer Sender to Your Address Book
We will soon be changing the sender email address used by FormSmarts form mailer as part of a major upgrade of our mailing infrastructure.
- If you use email services like Yahoo!, Microsoft Hotmail, Gmail, or AOL, please add noreply@formsmarts.com to your address book now to ensure our emails continue to be reliably delivered to your Inbox.
- If your email provider lets you set a list of allowed senders (whitelist), please add noreply@formsmarts.com to your whitelist.
We have implemented several email technologies and partnered with major email service providers to ensure form submissions are always emailed to you in the fastest, safest and most reliable way.
We welcome your comments about this new development.

Get Forms as HTML Email
The email format we use to send form submissions is flexible and supported by all desktop, web-based, and mobile email clients. Plain-text emails however become tedious to read and process for long forms and when form results must be printed for processing, e.g. for mortgage application forms, quote request forms, and many types of forms in the insurance and real estate industries.
FormSmarts users now have the option to have form submissions sent formatted as a table in a rich text (HTML) email. Depending on interest, we may also start to send form results as PDF attachments.
The main advantages of HTML emails are:
- Form reports are shorter
- Look is more appealing online and printed
- Email addresses, web links, and callto links (e.g for Skype) will launch the relevant application when clicked, as long as the field type as been set correctly.
To start receiving form results in HTML, change the Email Format to HTML Email in the Settings tab of your account. This option is initially only available to FormSmarts Pro members, but we plan to extend it to all users if there is demand, and pending review of performance implications.
We welcome your feedback about the ability to get form submissions in HTML format.
P.S. We will soon allow text comments in web forms,… stay tuned.

Send Form Results to Multiple Email Addresses
We’ve updated FormSmarts form builder and form processing back-end to allow several email subscribers for each form. We’ll be releasing more subscription mechanisms later this month.
Before using an email address as a form recipient, you first need to add it to your account, and verify it. You can change the recipients of a form in the Form Details screen of your account.
The number of email subscribers allowed for each form depends on your plan.

Managing Form Recipients
You can manage the email addresses registered on your FormSmarts account in the Settings tab, under Form Recipients.
Adding an Email Account
Before you can start using an email address as a form subscriber, you must first add it to your FormSmarts account, and verify it. We verify that the email account owner agrees to being added to a FormSmarts account by sending a verification link. Once the email address owner has visited the verification link, the status of that email address will change to Verified (Note: you will need to refresh the list of email accounts if you opened the verification link in a new window). You can use any verified email address as a form subscriber or as your FormSmarts login.
Changing the Recipients of a Form
When you create a new form, results are sent to your login email address by default. To have a form sent to other email accounts:
- Add the email addresses you need to your account as just described (Form Recipients option in the Settings tab).
- Edit the details of each form in the Forms tab, checking or un-checking each email subscriber as required.
A recipient must be verified before it can be used as a form recipient.
Changing Your Login Email
You can set any of the verified email addresses registered on your account as your FormSmarts login. There is one restriction: you can’t set an email address as you login if it’s already the login for another account.
A key icon is displayed next to your login email address.
Note: any email addresses that you use as login or form recipient has the Active status, and can’t be deleted.

Changing a Form’s Recipient Email Address
We get many emails from users asking how they can modify the email address held on their FormSmarts account.
At this time, each FormSmarts account is bound to a single email address. The address is used both as the account username, and as the recipient of all the forms on the account.
We will soon be upgrading FormSmarts Form Builder to provide more flexible email address management.
Users will be able to:
- change the login email address
- specify a different recipient email address for each form
Learn more about upcoming features. We welcome your feedback and feature suggestions.
