Customize the subject line of your submission notification emails to make them easier to identify at a glance, especially useful when managing multiple forms or high submission volumes. By default, PipedForm sends notification emails with a generic subject line. You can personalize this subject to include dynamic details like the form name or submitter’s information, making your inbox easier to scan and organize.

​
Customizing Submission Notification Email Subject

You can set the email subject through the dashboard or directly from your form. The subject can include dynamic text, such as the form name or user input.

​
1. Set via Dashboard

Go to your form’s Settings page, then customize the “Email Subject” field to fit your needs.

​
2. Set via Form

The “Email Subject” setting in the dashboard will be ignored if you use this method. To set it this way, simply add a field with the attribute name="_subject" and a value attribute containing the subject you want to use. 
<input name="_subject" value="New Submission from Contact Form" />

​
Using Dynamic Text

You can include dynamic text from user input in the subject line using snippets in the format {{fields.fieldName}}, where fieldName refers to a field in your form. You can also use {{formName}} to reference the form’s name. For example, suppose the form name is Contact Form and we use the subject New Form Submission: {{formName}} from {{fields.name}}. 
<form action="https://pipedform.com/f/{form_id}" method="POST">
  <input name="name" required />
  <input
    type="hidden"
    name="_subject"
    value="New Form Submission: {{formName}} from {{fields.name}}"
  />

  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
As a result, if the user enters John in the name field, the notification email’s subject line will become New Form Submission: Contact Form from John.
