## Statements (checkable)
0. Netlify changelog, November 3, 2026 (opened 2026-11-03): if you do not have an Enterprise plan or Legacy Business plan, form notification emails must now belong to a member of your Netlify team, both when you set up a form notification that sends submission details to an email address and when you edit an existing one.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. Existing notifications to an address that isn't connected to a team member (the post's example: orders@company.com) keep working as before; the requirement applies the next time such a notification is created or edited, and an edit that uses such an address can't be saved.  [✓0 ✗0]
2. Netlify recommends inviting the owner of the address to the team, or switching the recipient to an existing team member's address before the next edit.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Before an agent or script creates or edits a Netlify form email notification, use the address of a Netlify team member (or invite the address owner to the team first); leave working legacy notifications untouched until they must change.
```
