Send a confirmation email

Adding the autoresponse action in the formspree.json file has the same effect as adding the Autoresponse plugin in the Formspree dashboard.

Make sure you have a field titled email so Formspree knows what email to send the autoresponse to. Formspree will return an error if you don’t provide an email in one of these fields.

Formspree.json configuration

Key	Type	Description
type	String	Must be autoresponse
fromName	String	Autoresponse email from name
subject	String	Autoresponse email subject
message	String	Autoresponse email message sent to visitors
template	String	The name of the template to use. The template should already exist on the project.

Example

{
  "forms": {
    "support": {
      "name": "Request Form",
      "actions": [
        {
          "type": "autoresponse",
          "fromName": "Support Team",
          "subject": "Request received",
          "message": "We received your call! We'll get in touch soon."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

The create support ticket action adds the following validation rules implicitly:
