    Hi @Anonymous

    I guess you double checked if the mail adress is correct but can you please post a screenshot of your flow? (not the output)

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    What are you choose for the Send an collect responses when share the form?

    If you choose the "Only people in my orgnization can respond", then the responder email would be the true email and not anonymous.

    If you choose the "Anyone with the link can respond", then the responder email would be anonymous.

    This is no longer true. I have it set to only people in my organization and I get anonyms when adding their email to the CC.

    But if I add the email in the body of the email it populates correctly.
