Submit / Button Element
Last Update: September 10, 2025
The Avada Submit / Button Element is the final action trigger in a form, enabling users to submit their entered information once it is complete. It can be fully customized in terms of text, color, size, shape, alignment, and hover effects, ensuring it fits seamlessly with your site’s design. The Submission Type for your Submit Button is controlled in the Avada Form Options.
With Avada 7.14 and up, the Submit / Button Element can also be duplicated in a form to be used as a Reset Button, both for an entire form, or a section of a multi-step form, and as a Save Form Data button to allow for users to come back to a form later. These can be found in the Button Type option.
Watch the video below for a visual overview of the Submit / Button Element and read on to see the complete list of options.
How To Use The Avada Submit Button Element
The Avada Submit / Button Element allows you to place a submit button into your forms. To start, add the element to your desired Column in an Avada Form Layout.
What the button does when set to Submit is controlled by the form Submission method, found in the Form Options tab, and under Submission. Here, you set the submission type when the Submit button is clicked. By default this is Ajax. As the description here says, you Select “AJAX” to store form data using predefined methods and “POST” if you want to implement your own.
To get the mail sent to you, or a coworker, or to set up an auto reply, the submission type must be set to Ajax, and notifications are configured on the Notifications tab. See the Avada Form Options doc, to read more about the possible submission types, and the How To Set Up Avada Form Notificiations doc for full information about setting notifications for your submissions.
Configuring the Submit / Button Element is essentially the same as configuring any button, except for the Link options, of course. Read below for a full description of all Element options.
The Submit / Button can also be used in a few other ways. On the Button Type option, you can change the functionality to be a Reset button, a Reset Form Step button, or a Save Form Data Button.
If you want to use any of these, simply add another instance of the Submit / Button Element into your form and select the appropriate button type. A reset button simply allows the user to clear the form, and a Reset Form Step button would allow a user to clear just the cirrent step on a multi-step form. A Save For Data Button woud of course allow the user to save the form data so they could return later to the form and continue where they left off.
Element Options
Location: The edit screen within each Element. You access the Form Builder Elements when adding an Element while editing a Form in the Avada Form Builder (Forms > Form Builder, from the Avada Dashboard).
Note: Please note that the displayed options screens below show ALL the available options for the element. If you have Avada’s Option Network Dependencies turned on, you will only see options relevant to your selections, and so the options screen may look somewhat different.
