Email Address 'Not Shared' - Do I Believe That?

I (and others) have been asked for feedback about a boss that does not take feedback well. The form requires log in. How concerned should we be that some crackerjack in the office who's "good at IT" will figure out who sent in what? (My folks know VPN, Private Browsing, etc.)

It's a small nonprofit, but you never know who has a tech-savvy side hustle.

Email Notification with PDF of Form Submission Results

I'm currently working on a website for an office that utilizes a client intake form. I had originally constructed the form in Wix, however it's a MASSIVE form and exceeded their limits, so I had to pivot to Google Forms. I'm new to the platform, but managed to get the entire form built out to a point they're happy with it.

I've found Form Notifications to be able to alert the staff when they've received a new submission, but now I'd like to be able to actually attach the submission results as a PDF to those notifications, so they're able to print the client intake form and move on. I found a few add-on options like Mail Merge and DocsAutomator that seem like they might get the job done, but I'm not going to be able to convince the client to spend any money on signing up for one of those.

Does anyone know of a way I can accomplish this task for free?

To recap, I want the following flow:

> end-user submits Google Form

> end-user receives confirmation email (no attachment required here)

> specified email receives notification that the client form has been filled out, with result attached as a pdf.

Thanks in advance!

Automatic email to certain recipients based on specific data

I tried searching for an answer already, but didn't find what I was looking for or it required knowledge of scripts.

I want to create a form my students fill out to let me know they submitted a late assignment. Based on which student fills it out, I want it to automatically send an email to their caregivers to let them know they submitted it as well. Is this possible? Thanks for any help!

Google Form with no login needed

Hey folks, just found this subreddit - I'm working on a Google Form for my job, where we will be asking several people who don't necessarily have Gmail logins to answer some questions. Every time I go to test the form by using incognito mode, it prompts me to log in. Am I doing something dumb? AFAIK you should not need to log in to a Gmail account just to fill out a Google Form. Am I missing a setting?

TIA!

Best PDF GENERATOR Extension

I have some PDFs I use for school related purposes. I would like to utilize Google Forms for data input to a Google Sheet. I would like to know the best extensions that will populate a pdf upon a row being completed in Google Sheets, essentially taking data from various cells in the Google Sheet and populating fields in the pdf. Thanks in advance for the help! 🤟🏽🤙🏽👍🏽
