Adding a server to a form

To use the custom mail server for sending emails for a form, navigate to the form and click on the "Emails" tab. Then click on the "Mailer" tab and select the server you want to use for sending emails for submissions to this form. After saving, your custom mail server will be used instead of the default for this form.

Note

If emails fail to send from your custom mail server, submissions will automatically fall back to the default.
