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 brace as show 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, at the time of 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 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
{{Form Id}}	The unique ID of the current Google Form provided by Google Drive
