    Just to make a clarification here, SmartSheet forms and any communications should meet at a minimum the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/). These Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are specifically listed as required in various legislation, including Section 508 (USA) and the AODA (CA). In those two laws, IT products that fail to meet the standard cannot be used without facing fines or other legal punishment.

    Some of these requirements would entail giving greater control of the look and feel of the forms (CSS and some HTML customization) and emails that are sent.
