By Impran M N
Instead of manually replying to every form submission, Wix lets you build automated email responses triggered by form activity. This guide covers setting up an automation from your form trigger, designing the email content, and personalizing messages with dynamic tokens like the sender's name.
01Open the Automations panel
From your Wix dashboard, navigate to the Automations control panel.
02Create a new automation
Click New Automation and select your target form submission as the trigger.
03Choose the Send an email action
Set the response action to send an email whenever the trigger fires.
04Design your email
Use the email designer to set colors, add your logo, and write the message body.
05Personalize with tokens
Insert dynamic tokens like the sender's first name to make each email feel personal rather than generic.
06Set timing and test
Choose whether the email sends instantly or after a delay, then submit a test entry to confirm delivery.
