FAQs
How to Find the Name of the Person Who Answered?
Typically, if your form doesn’t contain a question asking users to fill in their name or email ID, you can’t identify the person who has filled it out. So, you have two options. Firstly, add a question asking users to fill in their name and email ID. Alternatively, enable the Collect email ID option in Google Forms settings.
How to Get Email Notifications When Someone Fills the Form?
You must enable the Get email notifications option for new responses. To do so, go to Google Forms and switch to the Responses tab. Next, click on the three-dot menu and select this option.
