# Email Alerts for Submitted Forms

When an Online Form has been submitted, volunteers who have chosen to receive alerts for forms will receive an email with a link to the form as well as a link to the forms status page.

**Where do I find it?**

You can enable the option to receive form alert emails by going to [**Services > My Settings**](https://manage.rescuegroups.org/user_settings)

:::


Volunteers can specify to receive **alerts on all forms,** or **just forms where they are listed as the foster.** In the section **Email Alerts** Settings, make sure "**Online Form Submissions**" or "**My Foster Animal's Online Form Submissions**" are set to "**Email me**".

:::tip
Only volunteers with the appropriate roles for Online Forms, will have access to the online forms.

:::success
A volunteer who does not have the alerts enabled, can still get an alert if a **form has been assigned** to them. You may prefer this method with one point person receiving alerts and then assigning the forms to volunteers for follow up.
