- Subject line
- Body
- Hide or display your business logo

After making your changes, click `Save` in the left sidebar. Your email template will be updated right away.

**Note:** By default, automated reply emails are sent from a B12 address. 

If you want these replies to come from your own domain (e.g., info@yourbusiness.com), you’ll need to:

1. Upgrade to [Web + Client Engagement.](https://support.b12.io/en/client-engagement-and-seats?hsLang=en)
2. [Set up email sending](https://support.b12.io/en/articles/6685352-how-to-configure-a-domain-for-email-sending-only?hsLang=en) for your domain.

### FAQ

#### What’s the difference between Automated Email Marketing emails and Form submission confirmation emails?

In B12, both are automated emails, but they serve different purposes:

- - **Form submission confirmation emails**
      
          - Sent immediately after someone submits a form on your website.
          - Can include **smart tokens**, such as the actual content of the submission (e.g., name, message, selected services).
          - Typically used to reassure the visitor that their message or signup was received.
    - **Automated Email Marketing emails**
      
          - Sent based on triggers you define in the **Email Marketing** section of the B12 Editor (e.g., a welcome sequence, follow-up reminders, or engagement campaigns).
          - Allow for more advanced **design and formatting options**, including images, card-style sections, and social media links.
          - Cannot include submission content from a form.
