Set email notifications
Turn self-email notifications on a form on or off and set who gets them.
MCP tool fillout_write → set_email_notifications
write Confirm
Sets the Self-email notifications of one form: on or off, and the emails that receive a message each time someone submits. Two or more addresses are allowed. On a Free plan, an organization created on or after 5 October 2026 sends notifications only to its own members until the account is verified. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
