Email digests and quiet hours

Open the form's Destinations tab and add or edit an email destination. Under Send pick each submission instantly (the default), an hourly digest or a daily digest at a time you choose. Tick Quiet hours to pick a window, 22:00 to 07:00 to start with. Times use your own timezone, which is filled in from your browser.

Each email destination has its own setting, so sales can get every lead instantly while a manager gets a daily summary of the same form.

Submissions are stored and every other destination (Slack, webhooks and so on) gets them straight away; only the email waits. When the digest is due, everything waiting for that destination goes out as one email listing each submission with its first few fields and a link to the full entry. If only one submission is waiting, it arrives as a normal notification instead.

With quiet hours on an instant destination, anything that arrives overnight comes as one email when the quiet hours end. A digest that falls inside quiet hours moves to the first hour after them.

Test submissions always send instantly, so you can check your form without waiting for the next digest. A waiting notification shows as held on the Deliveries tab with the time it will be sent. A digest lists up to 50 submissions; the rest are counted, with a link to your inbox.

The same settings are fields on an email destination in the write API: notify (instant, hourly or daily), dailyHour (0 to 23), quietStart and quietEnd (hours, the window may cross midnight) and timeZone (an IANA name such as America/New_York; UTC if left out).
