We often ask in our forms for an e-mail address already. Then, if the user wants a copy of the form at the end, he is prompted to reenter his e-mail. Is there a way to eliminate that step and point towards a field already in the form?
Thanks!
Hello Claude,
Thanks for this question! In your sheet, you could set up a notification rule to send out a confirmation email to the email address field.
1) Set your email column to a "Contact List"-type column.
2) Set up a notification for when a Row is added. Select the "Contact in Column" option and then select the appropriate email column. I've attached a screenshot to this post of these.
3) Change the Delivery Settings as desired to reflect the subject line, body text, and information you'd like included in that email.
4) Make sure your Alert and Actions permissions are set to "Any Email Address and Third-Party Integration" for your sheet so that it doesn't prevent emails from going to non-shared users. These permissions are found under the Gear icon in the top right-hand corner of the Alert Builder. I've attached a screenshot of this as well.
This will then send this information to the email address marked in the row
Please let me know if you have further questions on this.
Kind regards,

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted.

This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
