If you are using a Google Form that you expect infrequent submissions on, you may want an email notification when someone fills out your Form.
This is just a fun tip. If you put /create at the end of forms.google.com it quickly creates a Google Form for you.
On the Edit screen of Google Forms is the Responses tab. Look for the 3 dots “More options” menu.
Under the 3 dots is the option to “Get email notifications for new responses.”

Hi Alice,
I have a classroom snapshot/walk-through form that I use, and I’d like to set it up to send a copy of my comments to the teacher when I hit submit. I have not been successful figuring this out so far. Any suggestions?
