Allowing only the form owner to receive response notifications has long been a pain point for many users. But that's no longer a problem! You can now add or remove people or groups from the response notification emails, for forms or quizzes, keeping everyone in the loop!  Let’s check how it works together.

 

Add recipients

To add others, first go to the form’s settings and click “Get email notification of each response”. Then you can proceed to add your desired recipients with a name, email address or a group in your organization.

 

Add recipients for response notification

Selected recipients get notified

When a new response is submitted, all those listed under “Response receipts” will receive an email notification. They can simply click "view results" to access the form's result page for more details or sync to Excel for always up-to-date information without needing to return to the Forms site.

 

All the recipients get email notifications

Remove recipients

If someone has left your organization or you wish to exclude them from notifications, you can effortlessly remove them from the list. Simply access the "..." icon next to the recipients list and remove the individuals by clicking the “trash can” icon.

    Is it only owners of a form who can edit this list of recipients?
    None of my collaborators with edit rights seem to be able to do so.

    It would be also useful if you could remove the form owner from the list of recipients.

    When will GCC even get the option for notifications on Forms? How is this still not a thing?

  • Ive deleted the past users. I no longer see the removed individuals. But I still have an issue when I send out the reminder that people on the list I am still seeing are being notified.
    These older deleted individuals are still receiving the reminders. I see no list where they are able to be removed from for the reminders. 

  • Morning, 

     

    Is it possible to customize the email the recipient user gets when someone submits a form? Ie my recipients want to see the responses to the first 2 questions in the email when they get the notification so they know if it is their workflow 

     

    Thanks!
