Will my clients receive Formitor test emails?


Updated June 17, 2026 · also available in the in-app Help center

No. Formitor's synthetic submissions are designed never to reach your real recipients. On each test, the spoke plugin intercepts the form notification and either suppresses it or redirects it to your monitoring inbox, and as of plugin v0.2.13 it also strips any To/Cc/Bcc the form itself configured — so even a client address sitting in a notification's Bcc cannot receive the test message. If you run an older plugin version, update to v0.2.13 (Plugins screen → Check for updates → Update now). Only the form's primary recipient was protected before v0.2.13; Cc/Bcc recipients are protected from v0.2.13 on. (As of plugin v0.2.14 this also covers Gravity Forms, which sends its notifications asynchronously on a background request.)
