Template Variables

Use these variables in your email subject lines and message body to insert dynamic content:

Variable	Description
`{{form_name}}`	The name of your form
`{{submission_date}}`	Date and time of the submission
`{{submission_id}}`	Unique ID for the submission
`{{all_responses}}`	All form responses formatted as key-value pairs
`{{field.email}}`	Value of the field with ID `email`
`{{field.name}}`	Value of the field with ID `name`
`{{field.phone}}`	Value of the field with ID `phone`
`{{field.company}}`	Value of the field with ID `company`

Use {{field.your_field_id}} to reference any form field. Replace your_field_id with the actual field ID from your form.

Example Email

Here’s how a notification email might look with template variables:

Subject: New submission from {{form_name}} - {{field.name}}

A new form submission was received on {{submission_date}}.

Name: {{field.name}}
Email: {{field.email}}
Company: {{field.company}}
Phone: {{field.phone}}

All responses:
{{all_responses}}

Submission ID: {{submission_id}}

Troubleshooting

Emails going to spam?

Add OrbitForms’s sending domain to your SPF/DKIM records, or use a custom domain. Check your spam folder and mark notifications as “Not spam” to train your email provider.

Not receiving notifications?

Verify your email addresses are correct. Check that the workflow is enabled and the form is published. Review the workflow run history for errors.

Variables not working?

Ensure you’re using the exact field IDs from your form. Variable names are case-sensitive. Use {{all_responses}} to debug and see all submitted values.

Slack not receiving messages?

Reconnect your Slack workspace. Verify the bot has permission to post in the selected channel. Check that the channel still exists and the workflow is enabled.
