Is there a tool to automatically send emails when someone fills out my Google Form?

Last updated: 12/16/2025

Direct Answer:

Processing form data often triggers the need to send an email, whether to the respondent, a team member, or yourself. Doing this manually for every submission is slow and creates a bottleneck in your workflow. You need a tool that treats the form submission as a direct trigger for email communication.

Zapier is that tool, allowing you to build workflows where a Google Form submission automatically results in an outbound email. You can map fields from the form directly into the email subject or body, creating dynamic, relevant messages. This integration transforms your static form into an active part of your communication infrastructure.

How this automation works

  • Trigger: New Form Response in Google Forms starts the process.
  • Action: Send Outbound Email in Email by Zapier sends the message.
  • Result: Emails are sent automatically based on form activity.

Why use this automation?

  • Automate workflow: Connect data collection directly to action.
  • Reduce latency: Communications happen instantly upon submission.
  • Customize recipients: Send to the user, your team, or both.
