Receive An Email Notification When a New Online Form is Submitted
My team is trying to receive an email when a new design request form is submitted through our web form.
Can someone help us out? I have no idea how to do this. We want to receive an email notification every time a "new form" is submitted, not every time a column is updated.
If possible. Could someone outline the steps I need to take to do this? with photos if it is not too much to ask.
Thank you all.

You would accomplish this with a workflow.
- Click to create a new automation from scratch:
- Change Trigger to "When rows are added", you can also change column-based triggers if for instance you only want to send a notification if a certain field has been filled out.
- Then change notification to alert whoever needs to receive the alert, I updated to notify everyone shared to the sheet, but this could be changed to an email address or to a contact column.

How about only sending it to the email listed on the form? i.e. I enter the email address of the recipient I want to receive it.

@David G then you would need to select the notification to be sent to a contact column and then choose the contact column for the person that filled out the form, either collected as a system column or as a contact column the person completing the form would fill out.
If you decide to use the system-generated column, you would need to require people to log in to access the form.
