Notifications for form automations

This one moved from public beta to live in the post-UNBOUND wave, and it is worth a second look now that it is done. Enterprise portals already have fine control over workflow notifications, who gets told and whether a workflow fired too much or too little, but form automations have mostly had one move: email a person when the form is submitted. Getting the same control over when and why you hear about a form automation is a real win for admins, especially on the edge-case forms a customer only fills out in an unusual scenario.

Two cautions came out of the room. Out-of-range alerts on a low-volume automation fire constantly, because one or two extra submissions is a big percentage swing, and anything tied to closing deals carries a built-in end-of-month spike and start-of-month dip. And plenty of teams use their inbox as a to-do list, so an alert that arrives alongside two hundred others is not visibility. Below Enterprise, the read is that most portals do not have the volume for these swings to be meaningful anyway.
