To do this, add the Form block to the page and select the appropriate form type, then follow the steps - 

1. Add the required form fields and customize them as per your requirements.

2. Then select the main form block and go to the **Action After Submit** tab and select **Auto Respond Email** from the **Options** dropdown.

3. Now you’ll see the **Auto Respond Email **tab, open it.

4. In the **To** tab, you can use this shortcode **[nxt_user_email]** in the **To** field to send an email notification to the user. If you keep it blank, then the website admin will get the email.

From the **Email Heading** field, you can change the email heading.

You can change the email subject from the **Subject** field.

In the **Reply-To** field, you can use this shortcode **[nxt_user_email]** to reply to the user's email who has filled the form, or you can add a custom email for the email reply receiver.

- **Date** - To get the email sent date.

- **Time** - To get the email sent time.

- **Page URL** - To get the page link from where the email was sent.

- **User Agent** - To get the user’s browser name.

- **Remote IP** - To get the user’s IP address.

In the **Validation Error Occurred** field, you can add a custom message to show the user if the backend validation fails. 

Then, in the **Sender's Message Send To Failed** field, you can add a message if the email is not sent.

Similarly, you can send cc and bcc emails from the **CC** and **BCC** tabs.
