Automatic email after completing form

Hi, this is my first inquiry so I may be wrong about this.

As far as i can tell, there's no way to send an automatic email to a user that fills a form unless they click the "get my responses" box.

Is there a feature that I'm missing? This seems fairly basic for any contact form online.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Yes, it's possible but you have to get their email from a contact column or that they select from a contact list of predefined people. You can then configure a rule with Alerts & Actions to send an email to the submitter.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andrée! Thanks for your answer. Right now I created my form and added a contact column. I can see now that the added value is a contact and has a round shape next to it in the sheet... but I can't manage to configure the rule with alers and actions.
What way should I do it?
I just want a simple email to be sent to that person when they complete the form.

Thanks

Happy to help!

In Alerts & Actions > Alert Someone > Specify what should trigger the Alert > Change Alert Someone to Send to contacts in a cell (the contact cell) > Customize the message.

Let me know if anything is unclear!

Best,

Did it work?

Have a fantastic weekend!

Sheet shows BLANK rows, there is a "MOVE rows" worflow, is that why?
Is it possible that a workflow that MOVES rows to another sheet too basically do a CUT/PASTE (like in Excel), and then you are left with BLANK rows on your original sheet? I cannot think of any other LOGICAL reason why this would happen. The users enter the data from an Intake Form, it gets placed onto this sheet. They do…
Sorting not working?
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
