Altru does not allow you to disable email confirmation on a webform by webform level. Instead, if you want to disable all acknowledgment emails you will have to disable them globally.

  1. Disable emails globally – Stops all transactional emails from Altru

For the sake of keeping the right verbiage correct “Web Form Level” is defined for your convenience below.

Web Form Level: Donation forms, program forms, combination forms, membership forms, event registration forms, and event package forms.

This will disable all transactional emails from being sent. This includes all web purchases or any other transactional email sent out through Altru. If you choose this option make sure you have created emails for all your outbound messages using the Email Designer Tool.
