Forms - Send automatically an e-mail

Could be really useful to send an e-mail when a user completes a form.

 

Thanks

    Hello, now form owner can receive email notification per response if he check the option as below.

     

  • Like really, really useful!!!! I would want the person who filled out the form to be sent an email also.

      We are in desperate need of email notification from forms as well. -Joe

  • For now it can't be done from the Forms section.

     

    But you can do it with flow. You can make a flow that Forms sent a e-mail with the results when a user completes a form.

      Would you be able to post instructions for this?

       

      I poked around in Flow, and couldn't figure out how to tell it to use the email address as supplied on the form I created.

       

      What I'd like is for Flow to send an email to the person who filled out the form, to the email address they provided, with a summary of their responses and a standardized message from me (i.e., Thank you, if you need more info call this number, etc etc.)

       

      I'm super frustrated right now because I have to use this app instead of Google forms, which has MUCH more flexibility. Thanks!

        Was aware of this but thanks anyway.

        I think the bigger picture is the function to send a notification to the person that filled out the form. Let them know we've received the form and to send any extra information via automated email.

        Would this happen to be in any backlog for further updates?

    I would like to have a special recipient to receive an email with the answer according to a field. For example according to a question "country" the country manager should receive the email. This can be done in Flow, I'm aware BUT (and it's a big but) you have to create a Case When for each option, and for each replicate the same exact configuration. There is no "Copy" tool in Flow
