4. Email - an individual will receive a "confirmation" text in email format in addition if the "Send email" box is checked. Make sure to add a valid no-reply address - this should be an individual with a verified email address, ideally the invidual(s) whose email address is listed as the no-reply in site settings.  Add the no-reply email address, as well as other individuals who should receive form submissions to "send copies to".
