Microsoft Forms and Google Forms - Receipt Number

[Bankesy]

Good morning all,

 

Does anybody know of a way to set up either a Microsoft Form or Google Form in such a way that the person filling it out receives a receipt number in addition to the standard e-mail?

 

It's a bit of an issue for us around new starter applications, with no real tracking it leads to complaints from parents.

 

Thanks in advance

You could use the Sheets addon Formmule or Autocrat. The former can send out emails on form submit - which can contain whatever info you want. The later can merge the info into a Google Doc/PDF and share with someone and send the email. We use both extensively in automations and some of our own custom Sheets scripts as well.

Thanks @rogerdnixon

 

Interestingly enough I got talking to Google Workspace Admin at the LGfL conference last week and he suggested Autocrat but I'll definitely give Formmule a look as well.
