Form Publisher generates your Google Form submissions into Google documents, Microsoft documents and/or PDFs and sends by default email notification messages. This article will explain how to personalize email notifications to responders.
1. Personalize your email notifications
You can access the ‘Sharing options and notifications’ sidebar:
- From the Form Publisher menu
- Directly from the sidebar
Once you are on this sidebar, click ‘Personalize email notification’:
An email customization pop-up appears:
For each file, you are able to personalize:
1. The sender name
In our exemple, we kept the name associated to the Google account.
2. The email subject
In our email subject we used <<fileName>> marker which is equal to the ‘Generated files title’ previously personalized in the ‘Destination folder and naming convention’ sidebar.
To know more about this option, we suggest you to read our article: [Step 5] Name your file and select your folder
3. The email body
Once you are done with your email personalization, click ‘Save and close’:
2. Submit your form to test your email customization
From your Google Form click on the eye at the top left hand side:
Then fill your Form > click ‘Submit’:
You will see a message which confirms that your submission has been recorded.
3. Check your email box
Open the email notification you have received. All your email personalization has been generated:

It states you can use html and Markers in the e-mail but none of the Markers I've created are flowing over to the e-mail. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
Could you contact support@form-publisher.com with the HTML code that you are trying use in the email so that we can help you ?
In the last 30 days or so, the merge codes in my subject line stopped functioning correctly, but they still work fine when naming the file. The column headers match - the text in the "Subject of your email" field is:
Form Results: <<Employee's FIRST Name>> <<Employee's LAST Name>>
Hi,
We can set the sender name but not sender email address as a result if somebody responds to received email it will go to the one who set up the Form Publisher. Is it possible to change it ? I would like to have responses send to general mailbox.
The tags used in my customized email don't work anymore. "<< >>".

Hello! Is it possible to schedule the emails sent to <<marker>>? Let's say I want the email with the attached PDF to be automatically sent 24 hours later and only if its between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, is it possible?
There is a major embarrassing error since some days now. My registration form is supposed to send out a mail to the applicant, greeting him, but mails are being sent in the wrong email id.
Like is If ABC registered first, he gets a mail at ABC@gmail.com saying "Hello ABC" (<<first name>> is the marker im using in the mail settings).
After sometime when XYZ registers, he is getting a mail at XYZ@gmail.com still saying "Hello ABC".
The pdf generated and attached to mail has proper name, but the addressing is wrong and its happening everyday to me.
Hi,
Could you please contact support@form-publisher.com so that we can help you.
Does the "Turn your form submissions into Docs, Sheets, Slides & PDF with Form Publisher" at the bottom of the email get removed for paid accounts?
Hi Craig,
Yes, this part of the notification is removed for paid accounts.
Has this issue been fixed (markers not working in email)? It still seems to be a problem.
