Lead form alerts for sales teams
When someone fills in a contact or quote form, send the sales team an email with the lead's name, contact details, and request summary first. That makes quick follow-up much easier.
How to Set Up WPForms Email Notifications
If you've not yet installed Noptin, you can install it as shown in the video below or follow our installation guide.
In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Noptin → Email Campaigns → Automated Emails and create a new automated email. You will see the option to generate the email with AI or create it manually.
If you decide to generate with AI, paste the sample prompt below, review the output, and adjust the copy to match your brand.
AI Prompt
Write a clear admin notification email for a new WPForms submission. Show the most important fields first, then list the full submission below.
Noptin will generate the email content, subject line, and layout based on the prompt, but you can edit all of it before saving the email and activating the workflow.
If you decide to create the email manually, click on the "Continue without AI" button then follow these steps.

Noptin will create the automated email then open the email editor so you can customize the content, design, and subject line before activating it.
Tips for Better WPForms Admin Emails
Put key details like name, email, phone, and request type at the top so the team can scan the message quickly.
Use the same layout for every form alert so sales or support staff know where to look each time.
Write a clear subject line that includes the form name or submission type so the email is easy to spot in a busy inbox.
