Email markers
Email markers are used to collect the respondents data. Form Publisher can collect the respondent emails only if the Collect email addresses option is enabled in the Google form settings.
The <<Email Address>> marker will then be replaced by the user’s email address in your generated document.
Workflow markers
To use Workflow markers, you need to activate the Approval workflow option in the Sharing options and Notifications sidebar.
Other markers
- The <<Template Title>> marker lets you personalize the title of your Google Form.
Learn more on the following article: ‘Choose a relevant title for each file created’.
- The <<Increment>> marker lets you know the number of your file which has been submitted. By default, the form number will be written according to the number of sending.
In your email
In your spreadsheet
- The <<Score>> marker lets you know the quiz results of your respondents.
To use this marker you need to enable the ‘quiz’ option in the Google form settings.
First, use this marker to activate the ‘quiz’ option in Google Form: Settings > Quizzes > Make this a quiz > Save.
Then, go back to your form and click on Answer key.
Choose the correct answer(s) for your question, then choose each question's points and click Done.
Your respondents will see the result of their answers straight after responding.
You can check your respondents’ scores in your responses spreadsheet.
- The marker <<Link to edit>> generates a link in your template that will read "Click here to edit your response" and point to the form so the respondent can edit his response. This link will only work if the Edit after submit option is enabled.
