Configure form submission notifications

*** A new version of this article is available on this page ***

Yet Another Mail Merge is great to send emails upon form submissions as your email templates are standard drafts in Gmail (meaning that you can easily use an alias, add cc, bcc, attachments, inline images, etc.).

Follow the instructions below to configure your form submission notifications.

Link a form to your spreadsheet

First, be sure that a Google Form is linked to your spreadsheet. If it's not the case, please check Google documentation to know how to do so.

Open the form configuration menu in Yet Another Mail Merge

Once you have correctly linked a Google Form to your spreadsheet, you should see a new menu 'Configure form submission notifications' in Yet Another Mail Merge.

If it doesn't appear, but you can see the 'Form' menu, simply close and reopen your spreadsheet to load properly the add-on menu.

Choose the options that you want

Option 1: Notify one or more addresses of all responses

The email will be sent to the address(es) you put in the recipients field of the Gmail draft.

Option 2: Notify address submitted by the form

The emails will be sent to the addresses submitted within the form. In that case, leave the recipients field empty in the Gmail draft, and select the recipients email addresses column from your responses spreadsheet.

Or choose both options

You can also notify one or more recipients of all responses (in that case, put the email addresses directly in your Gmail draft), and at the same time, notify the email addresses submitted by the form.

Simply select both options from the 'Set Notification rules' sidebar:

Besides, you can also use our tracking tool as usual, and add everything you need in your Gmail draft: cc / bcc recipients, images, attachments, etc.
