Mokaform

Form notifications

Create Mokaform notifications for team emails, respondent emails, Slack alerts, Discord alerts, conditions, and branded sender domains.

Notifications send messages when a questionnaire receives a submission. Use them when a person or channel needs to know what happened.

This guide covers notification behavior. For channel-specific setup, see Slack and Discord.

Create a notification

Open the questionnaire and go to the notifications area.

Choose when the notification should run: any submission, a specific ending, or submissions that match a condition.

Add an action, such as team email, respondent email, Slack, or Discord.

Connect the external account if the notification uses Slack or Discord.

Write the message using form answers where needed.

Submit a test response and confirm the message was delivered.

Team email notifications

Use team email notifications when your team needs to act on each response.

Good uses:

  • New lead alerts.
  • Support requests.
  • Application submissions.
  • Payment or booking confirmations.

Keep the subject easy to scan. Include only the answer data your team actually needs in the message body or attachment.

Respondent emails

Use respondent emails when the person who filled out the form needs a receipt or next step.

Common examples:

  • Confirmation emails.
  • Application received messages.
  • Event registration details.
  • Follow-up instructions.
  • Payment or booking next steps.

The recipient should be mapped to an Email question. Test with a real inbox before sharing the form publicly.

Slack and Discord alerts

Use Slack or Discord when a team watches a channel more actively than email.

Good uses:

  • Send urgent support requests to a triage channel.
  • Alert a sales channel when a qualified lead arrives.
  • Notify a community or operations channel when a specific branch is submitted.

Use conditions when only some submissions should alert the channel. For example, notify support only when the issue type is urgent.

Branded sender domains

If respondent or team emails should come from your own domain, configure a branded email sending domain in organization settings.

PRO feature

Branded email sending domains are available on PRO.
