Send form response details in the notification email
When sending the form response notification email, Sitefinity CMS includes system information such as the project name, website URL, form title, submission IP Address and timestamp, and so on. Additionally, you can instruct Sitefinity to include the form response details in the notification email. This way all form field values of the submitted response are included in the message body. By default the notification email includes both the system information and the form response details. You can control this behavior and specify whether you want to exclude or include the form response details. To change the default behavior follow these steps:
- In the main menu, click Administration » Settings » Advanced.
- In the treeview on the left, click Forms » Notifications.
- Deselect the Include a copy of the submitted information in the notification message checkbox.
NOTE: By default this checkbox is enabled and the form response details are included
