Forms: Notification when answers have been given
- Adding notification feature is currently in our backlog. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your feature request with us.
MicrosoftA year later and still no update for this feature. :(
There’s now a feature in the settings of each form to allow for email notification on responses:
I am still looking at how to email multiple people, beyond the creator of the form.
Hi Richard, don't give up hope yet. I wanted to make sure you saw the responses above, to see if that satisfies your need. It seems that there's both a Flow action that can trigger external notifications, and others have reported also seeing a checkbox available to email a notification.
Do one of those do it for you, or are you thinking of another use case?
I can't wait for notifications!!!! It would really make Forms an mazing tool for all of our students and staff, keep up the good work!
I am waiting to roll out Office 365 forms in my organisation, this product will help a lot of staff with self creation of forms. This notification of a response email is an essential feature, when can we expect it to be available?
- Nakul MadaanHi Frank - Notification feature is in our to-do list. We are currently trying to understand all the end user scenario for notification feature. Would love to understand your scenarios in more details, please message me your email id and i will schedule a skype call to understand your forms quiz/survey scenarios and to capture your all feature ASKs.
It would be very helpful if the results of the form, the entries, were sent to the individual filling out the forn. For example, they enter their info on the form, click submt, then they get a verification with their entries on the form as back up.
An ETA on this would be great, right now I am forced to use GAFE/G-Suite.
Hi, receiving automatic email notifications and confirmations has been highlighted among our users as an important feature to be added, and being able to create the text that would go in that confirmation email.
For example, our events team are using Forms to get details of people volunteering to help at an event, and they're concerned that as there will be frequent reminders sent about this over a month-long period, that people will forget they've filled it in and do it more than once. Whereas if they get the email confirmation that they've done it they have that as a reminder.
Also, if Forms were to be used as an online application form, for example, then the applicant would expect an email confirmation so they know for certain that it was submitted correctly.
