Updated over 2 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

This feature is for:

  • Admins and marketers designing forms, surveys, or quizzes.

  • Teams that want branded, polished confirmation messages after submission.

  • Users who need different layouts for Desktop and Mobile.

Use this when you want full control over how the post-submit message looks and feels.


Overview

The On Submit Message Editor controls what users see immediately after submitting a Form, Survey, or Quiz.

It allows you to:

  • Display confirmation messages.

  • Guide users on next steps.

  • Reinforce brand tone and trust after submission.

The editor supports rich formatting, layout control, and device-specific styling so confirmation screens are clear, consistent, and intentional.


Rich Text Editor

The built-in editor allows you to format messages directly inside the builder.

You can add:

  • Bold and italic text

  • Font size changes

  • Text colors

  • Emojis

  • Inline formatting for headlines and subtext

This makes it easy to create expressive, user-friendly confirmation messages.


Improved Message Structure

You can now structure your On Submit message into:

  • Headline: Primary confirmation or success message.

  • Subtext: Supporting information, next steps, or reassurance.

This structure helps:

  • Improve clarity.

  • Match brand tone.

  • Create a more human confirmation experience.


Smart Background Behavior

The background system is enhanced with flexible display options.

Available options:

  • Background Blur: Automatically applies a subtle blur that matches your background image.

  • Solid background color: Use a defined color behind the message.

  • Transparent background: Display text directly over the background image.

Background Blur can be toggled on or off at any time.


Device-Specific Layout and Styling

You can now customize styles independently for:

  • Desktop

  • Mobile

Per-device controls include:

  • Background behavior

  • Font weight

  • Padding and margins

  • Text container corner radius

  • Layout alignment

This removes the need for one-size-fits-all styling.


Live Visual Preview

A live preview is available directly inside the builder.

The preview:

  • Reflects your actual background image.

  • Updates instantly as you edit text or styles.

  • Allows quick switching between Desktop and Mobile views.

This helps you design confidently without publishing to test.
