Gravity Forms offers numerous notification events that can be utilized within the core plugin and through additional add-ons. This article details these events for your reference.

| Form is submitted | This notification event sends an alert whenever a form is submitted. It is the default notification if no other options are set within your installed add-ons. |

Partial Entries Add-On
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Saved | The Saved notification event will send a notification when a partial entry is saved for the first time. See note 1. |
| Updated | The Updated event will send the notification when an update request for an existing partial entry is received. See note 2. |
Note
- Note that this is different from the Form is submitted event, or the Updated event in which the notification will fire for every partial entry update request.
- Bear in mind that many update requests can happen until the user submits the form or leaves the page, and they are fired by the Heartbeat API even if there’s not any new data in the form fields, therefore using this event can lead to multiple emails being sent.
