## Code

```php
add_filter( 'gform_notification', function ( $notification, $form, $entry ) {
    if ( '' !== trim( (string) rgar( $notification, 'replyTo' ) ) ) {
        return $notification;
    }

    foreach ( $form['fields'] as $field ) {
        if ( 'email' === $field->type ) {
            $email = sanitize_email( (string) rgar( $entry, (string) $field->id ) );
            if ( is_email( $email ) ) {
                $notification['replyTo'] = $email;
            }
            break;
        }
    }

    return $notification;
}, 10, 3 );
```

## Notes

Notifications that already have a Reply-To keep it; the first email field in the form is used.
