At the top of the confirmation email received after filling out a form is text that says:
"Hey there, a big thanks for filling out our form!".

At the bottom of the confirmation email it says:
"If you need any additional information, don’t hesitate to contact us."
"— Blank Team"

How do I change the text to say what I want it to say?

Hi Carolyn,
In the Form Builder click on Settings at the top.
Now Click on the Confirm Email tab
At the bottom click on the pencil to edit the theme.

What I do is click in side the code then do Ctrl+ a to select all the text.
Then do Ctrl + c to copy all the text.
I then do ctrl+ v to my HTML Editor to work on editing it where I can easily preview and see my progress. Doing it this way also allows you to use some of the search tools to find lines of code as there's many to look through.

Once your done do the opposite and copy from editor and paste to Form Builder.


I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Eric! I had looked briefly at the code but didn't see the text I wanted to change. I will take a closer look as you suggested. Sounds simple enough...she said hopefully!

I was able to find and change the text in both the Confirmation and the Notify responses. Thank you so much for your help.

The text that comes in the Notify email is confined to a very small area of the incoming email. I've looked at the code and I can't tell which CSS rule is controlling the size. It looks like it may be half of 660px. That's a size (660px) I saw referred to in the code. Image attached.

Any idea how to let the form take up more room?

I'll need to see the theme code. Without looking I would say it's a padding issue.
