    Hello!

    I would also like to request this feature. It would be super helpful to either change who receives the notifications or turn them off completely.

    Best,

    Brooke

    Hi Brooke,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. We understand how having more control over these notifications could be helpful, and your feedback is valuable for future improvements. Right now, there's no way to turn off the email confirmation that's sent after a document is successfully signed. It's a built-in feature in Jotform Sign to notify both the document owner and the signers for the document they signed.

    As the document owner, you can change the email that receives the notification, but the means you also need to change your account email address. It’s really easy to do that. Let me show you how:

    1. On your My Workspace page, click on your Avatar/Profile Image in the top-right corner of the screen.

    2. In the window that opens, click on Settings.

    3. Then, click on the Account tab on the left side menu.

    4. Click on Edit on the right side of your current email address.

    5. Next, enter the new email address you'd like to use, then click on Save.

Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.
