You need to update the contact details, you can do that with a custom save action.

It is documented on the Sitecore doc website see: Walkthrough: Creating a custom submit action that updates contact details

This are the steps:

• Create a submit action class
• Create the SPEAK editor control
• Add a folder that contains parameters for the editor
• Create the client script for the editor
• Create a submit action item

The following blog explains Sitecore Forms Send Email Campaign message alternative you can also create an custom sent e-mail or if you need other examples of custom Forms extensions see Sitecore-Forms-Extension-Pack
