We have been continuously enhancing Copilot’s capabilities over the past few months, focusing on everything from form creation to distribution, to make it your ultimate form creation assistant. This June, we enabled more capabilities for distributing forms, helping you boost audience engagement and increase response rates. Let’s explore the new capabilities together! 

 

Rewrite the invitation message with Copilot 

The invitation message is the first thing responders see when they receive a form. Crafting a compelling message is key to grabbing their attention and prompting a quick response. When your form is ready to go, Copilot will help you rewrite the default message, adding details like the form's topic, estimated completion time, and due date.

Respondents will receive an email invitation in Outlook or a Teams message with the customized message. They can begin filling out the form by clicking "Start now.

Follow up with non-responders 

If you send out the form and don't receive enough responses after some time, Copilot can help you draft reminder messages to prompt respondents to reply. It offers several options, allowing you to choose your favorite and send it with just one click.

    Now that Copilot is integrated with Forms, if I have sent my form to an email distribution group, when I follow up with non-responders, it doesn't just follow up with people from those email groups that have not responded it follows up with the entire email group, which is causing a lot of unnecessary emails for the people that already responded. We have nearly 200 employees. How can I follow up with just the people who have not responded?

    It was capable of doing this before Copilot integrated in, but now it appears not to be working correctly. It says it will send a reminder to people who haven't responded yet, but when I click "try now" it sets up an email that will send to the original email groups (everyone).
