Email verification now available for form notifications
November 9, 2026
Following our recent change to form notification email requirements, you can now send notifications to email addresses outside your Netlify team no matter what pricing plan you are on.
You can now send form notifications to email addresses that don’t belong to a member of your Netlify team, such as a client or a shared inbox like orders@company.com, as long as the recipient confirms they want to receive them.
When you add an email address that isn’t connected to a member of your Netlify team, Netlify first sends that address a short email asking whether it wants to receive notifications for your form. No form notifications are delivered to the address until the recipient clicks Confirm. If they ignore the email, they never receive any notifications about your form submissions.
Notifications sent to team members work the same as before and don’t need confirmation.
If you switched a notification to a team member’s address after our recent change to form notification email requirements, you can now add the original address back. After confirming, you’ll start receiving notifications about form submissions to the confirmed email address.
