forms notification not sending to anyone in the group
- Sep 09, 2019
See the solution here to get it working :

Once you complete the steps wait about 30 mins for everything to Sync, before testing.
By default the response goes to the form designer not the Team owner. However, still I have heard many people still have an issue with this functionality.
I would personally use a flow in order to notify the right people that a response has been submitted

I find these work much better and as required.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris

ChrisHoardMVP Any idea how I can set that up for Forms created within a Group i.e. a Team?

Yohan_Turner Do you have another link or a snapshot of what that page said? It returns 404 today. The Way Back Machine doesn't have that page archived.
I prefer a native solution vs a Flow workaround, as the latter is one more thing to maintain.
