This guide contains instructions to notify multiple participants of the Google Form responses. Google Forms is probably the best forms creator and data collection tool. Without much of a complication, you could easily create different types of forms and send it over to the desired users. Filling of forms, creating reports and other such tasks is pretty easy too. However, one thing that I find missing is the ability to allow multiple users to get notified whenever a form is filled. If you have created a form, you stand its owner/admin. As a result, if anyone fills that form, only you will get notified for the same. Well, in some cases, it definitely makes sense, but not all the time. If you want to send Google Form notifications to multiple emails or people at the same, this tutorial is just for you.
Recently, we, a group of 4, wanted to carry out research through Google Forms. I, being the creator of the form, was the only one being notified of the responses. My other team members really had no idea of these forms. Every time I received a response, I had to forward the same to my other three teammates. This was quite an effort-taking and time-consuming task. So after digging the internet, I found a handy add-on that makes it easy to notify multiple participants of the Google Form responses. Here are the steps that you need to follow. Also, check out the steps to open websites apps on Google Chrome.
