I am trying to make a sheet and a form that will allow me to notify different people from different departments to make sure they get the correct information. Can this be done and if so how.
Please let me know
Hi Justin,
Can you provide some more information on your our specific use case?
Best,

You can create multiple forms for each sheet. But the forms themselves don't send data, they just allow users to input data. To deliver data you could send notifications to people, or you could share reports that show only their data.

I would like to be able to have the form information that is created and when a person hits send from the form that we created go to a different department such as the following:
We have a form for drafting and it goes directly to a person in drafting.
Also we have another form that is requesting us to place an order will it go to that person.
This would all be from a Master sheet.
Is there a way to set up the notifications to the certain departments based on which form is used?
In essence, yes. You could have a contact column that they populate with an email address. Or you could have the form auto-populate the contact field and make that field hidden in the form. Then when they submit the form the notification could be set on that email address, when a new row is added or based on any number of criteria. You would designate the contact address from the form itself.

Is there a limit to the number of notifications that can be sent at one time in a workflow? I am preparing a staff survey for approx 8000 employees. On a specific day and time, they will be sent an email via workflow that contains a link to the survey. Do you I need to be concerned about so many going out at one time? This…
I am trying to copy the data from a Business Problem cell to a Project Description cell without impacting/changing previous entries. Is it possible to create a single automation workflow that copies/replicates data from "Business Problem" into "Project Description" in the same worksheet? I tried the column formula route…
