In Droip, Form Actions let you control exactly how submissions are handled, whether you want to notify your team, confirm submissions to users, or send data to other apps in real-time.

This guide will walk you through:

• Configuring SMTP to ensure reliable email delivery
• Setting up Email Actions to send notifications and automated responses
• Using Webhooks to integrate your forms with CRMs or automation tools

Email Actions in Droip Forms

In Droip, Email Actions let you define how form submissions are sent and handled. You can:

• Send Admin Notifications — receive a copy of every form submission.
  
• Send Automated User Emails — confirm to users that their submission has been received.

Before setting up, it’s important to understand the basics:

• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) ensures emails are sent through a proper mail server instead of PHP mail, reducing the chances of messages being marked as spam.
  
• Email Action in Droip determines where submissions go, how they appear, and who receives replies.

1. After enabling 2-Step Verification, go to App passwords.
   
2. Name your app like “WordPress” or “Droip.”
