Drupal's Webform module lets you easily customize the confirmation message to make it more specific and helpful.

How to: - Navigate to your forms Settings tab and open the Confirmation section. - Write your custom message in the text area. - Use the Browse available tokens link to find the right token for a submission value. - Insert a token like "[webform_submission:values:first_name]" to greet the user by name. - Save your settings and test the form. This is a simple way to improve the user experience on your site. #Drupal #Webform ~~~ If you found this post helpful. ♻️ Please repost and follow. Need help with your Drupal project?
