How to Use Dynamic Form Fields in Email Notifications

The Google Forms add-on supports dynamic form fields in the email subject and message body. These fields are always enclosed in double curly braces - like {{Your first name}} - and are automatically replaced with the actual answers that the user submits in the form.

To give you an example, if your Google Form has a question titled "What is your name" you can make that a dynamic field by enclosing the question title inside double curly braces as shown below:

{{What is your name}}

These dynamic fields can be placed anywhere in the subject or message body of the email template. The add-on, when sending the email, will replace all such fields using corresponding answers from the form response.

Available Dynamic Fields

If you enclose a question title from the form inside double curly braces, it becomes a dynamic field. In addition to the question titles of your Google Form, the following variable fields are also available for your email templates.

Variable Field Title	Description
{{ All Answers}}	Include all non-blank answers in the email, formatted as a table.
{{ Full Response}}	Include all answers in the email, formatted as a table.
{{ Response Date}}	The date and time of when the form was submitted
{{ Response Id}}	A unique id of the form entry
{{ Response Number}}	Inserts the sequential number of the form response
{{ Response Url}}	Secret link to edit the current form submission
{{ Form Url}}	The URL of the current Google Form for submitting new responses
{{ Form Name}}	The title of the current Google Form (Change Form Name)
{{ Form Id}}	The unique ID of the current Google Form provided by Google Drive
