Google Forms can be a powerful tool for collecting information, but one question that often comes up is whether it sends a confirmation email automatically. The answer is no, Google Forms does not send a confirmation email automatically.

However, you can set up Google Forms to send a confirmation email to respondents after they submit a form. This is a feature that's turned off by default, so you'll need to enable it in the form settings.

To enable confirmation emails, go to the form settings and look for the "Responses" tab. From there, you can toggle on the switch to send a confirmation email to respondents.

Managing Form Responses

However, this feature has a limitation - it only sends notifications to the form owner. If you want to send notifications to collaborators or a team inbox, you'll need to look into alternative solutions.

With the help of zenphi, a no-code process automation software for Google Workspace, you can build an automated workflow that triggers when the form is submitted. This allows you to send confirmation emails to an unlimited number of users.

The possibilities for automating Google Forms are endless, extending beyond confirmation emails to form approval workflow and PDF generation based on form responses.
