# Email Notifications

> Get an email when a new submission arrives.

Formbase can send an email every time a form receives a new submission. This is useful for small teams or forms that require immediate follow-up.

Notifications are enabled per form and are delivered using your configured email provider (SMTP or Resend).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable notifications">
    Open your form, go to the "Settings" tab, and toggle "Enable Form Submission Notifications".
