What is the On Submit Message Editor?
The On Submit Message Editor controls what a contact sees immediately after submitting a Form, Survey, or Quiz. Instead of a plain confirmation, you can design a branded message with headings, images, and layout controls that adapt to desktop and mobile.
Key Benefits of the On Submit Message Editor
- Richer formatting: Create headline + subtext with bold, italics, sizes, colors, emojis, links, and images directly inside the editor.
- Brand consistency: Align fonts, weights, padding, margins, and corner radius with your visual identity.
- Background Blur overlay: Softens busy backgrounds so text remains readable; optionally add a solid/transparent message box color.
- Device-specific control: Independently style Desktop and Mobile for optimal readability.
- Live visual preview: See changes against your actual background as you edit.
- Fewer rebuilds: Design post-submit states without creating separate pages or redirects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I use both a Message and a Redirect at the same time?
No. Choose one default behavior. Conditional logic can override with a different message or redirect when its conditions match.
Q. Do workflows depend on the On Submit message?
No. Form/Survey/Quiz Submitted workflows run independently of the visual confirmation.
Q. Images or custom values don’t render in preview. Is that expected?
Some custom values only resolve on real submissions.
