Once you're done designing your form, you can embed it onto a post or a page using the Cognito Forms block. Just add a "Cognito Forms" block to your post or page, select the form you'd like to embed, and publish your changes to see your form in action.

Now that I've built a form, can I receive a notification every time my form is submitted?

Yes – in fact, our forms default to sending an email notification to the email address belonging to the owner of the account.

You can further customize that email notification to be sent on behalf of your website domain, contain custom content, show details from the entry, or go to multiple email addresses.
