SMTP provides authentication, improved deliverability, and real-time delivery reports – something standard PHP mail lacks.

Check the error logs under Submission Logs or contact Fluent Forms support for further troubleshooting.

Email notifications automatically alert the admin, user, or other team members whenever a form is submitted. They can include submission details, confirmations, or custom messages.

A double opt-in email is a confirmation message sent after a user submits a form. The user must click a verification link to confirm their subscription before their data is processed.

⚠️ Ensure the “From Email” matches your domain’s SMTP setup; mismatches can prevent the confirmation email from sending.

Open the form editor → Settings & Integrations → scroll down and check Enable Double Opt-In Confirmation before Form Data Processing.
