NotifyLane — Email Notifications for Google Forms
Every Google Form response, in full, in the right inbox.
NotifyLane emails each new response, with every question and answer, to the people you choose. The emails go out from your own Google account, so replies work as usual, and they carry no ads. With Pro, send responses by answer and email each respondent a confirmation.
- Free for up to 3 recipients
- Sent from your own Google account
- No ads in your emails

How it works
From a Google Form to the right inbox in three steps
Set it up once per form. Every response after that is emailed as it arrives.
1Open it from the Extensions menu
In the Forms editor, click the puzzle-piece icon (Extensions) → NotifyLane → Open NotifyLane.
- Who gets new responsesyou@example.com, ana@example.comUp to 3 people on the free plan.
2Check who gets new responses
Your own address is filled in. Add up to 3 people on the free plan, separated by commas.
On — new responses are emailed
Send me a testSent a test email to you, using the latest response.
3Turn on, then Send me a test
The test emails the latest response to you only, and tells you who real responses would go to.
Why the full answers
A “new response” alert still sends you back to the form
Google Forms’ own notification goes only to your account and does not include the answers. NotifyLane puts the whole response in the email, for everyone who needs it.

From the email template of NotifyLane 1.0.
- Sent from your own accountYour Google account sends the emails, so they arrive like any email from a colleague. Reply goes to the respondent when the form collects email addresses; you can switch that off.
- No ads in your emailsNo banner, no pitch: only one small grey line at the bottom saying the email was sent by NotifyLane from your own Google account.
- Honest about Google’s limitGoogle lets a personal @gmail.com account email 100 recipients a day, and a Google Workspace account 1,500. The panel shows how many are left today. If the limit is used up, that response is not emailed; it stays in the form, and the panel says so.
Features
Made for forms that more than one person handles
Send by answer (Pro)
Rules such as “When the answer to Department is Sales → email sales@company.com” add people to the responses that match. Or let the main list get a response only when no rule matches.
A confirmation to the respondent (Pro)
Email each person who fills in the form, with your own subject and message and, if you like, a copy of their answers. Their address comes from Google’s “collect email addresses” setting or from a question.
Subjects that say what came in
Put {{Form title}}, {{Respondent email}}, {{Submitted}}, {{Score}} or any question, such as {{Name}}, in the subject. The inbox then tells you whose response it is before you open it.
New response: {{Form title}} — {{Name}}→New response: Volunteer sign-up — Sam RiveraAnd more
- Unanswered questions listed too, if you choose
- Reply goes to the respondent (can be switched off)
- Send me a test: the latest response, to you only
- Recent emails in the panel
- How many recipients Google still allows today
- Up to 50 recipients per email with Pro
- One setup per form, shared by its editors
- Turn off and forget this form, in one click

Privacy & permissions
Your responses go from the form to your recipients, and nowhere else
| Reads | Only the form you open NotifyLane in (Google’s “this form only” permission): its questions and, at the moment of sending, the new response. |
|---|---|
| Sends | The emails go out from your own Google account to the addresses you chose. Nothing is sent to BiLingoPlus. With Pro, the add-on asks Paddle whether your email has an active subscription. |
| Permissions | forms.currentonly · script.send_mail · script.container.ui · script.scriptapp · script.external_request · userinfo.email |
NotifyLane can send email as you, but it cannot read your mailbox, and it keeps no copy of your responses. No ads, no selling of data and no AI reading your answers.

Questions about Google Forms email notifications
Can Google Forms email each response to several people?
Not by itself. Google Forms’ own notification goes only to your account and does not include the answers. NotifyLane emails every response, in full, to up to 3 people for free, or to more with Pro.
Does the email include the answers?
Yes, all of them, in form order: checkboxes one per line, grids as “Row: answer”, uploaded files as links, and the score if the form is a quiz. Links open the response in Google Forms and the response sheet, if the form has one.
Who are the emails sent from?
From your own Google account, through Gmail, so they arrive like any email from a colleague. Reply goes to the respondent when the form collects email addresses; you can switch that off.
Is there a limit on how many emails it can send?
Google’s own daily limit: 100 recipients a day for a personal @gmail.com account and 1,500 for a Google Workspace account, and every recipient counts. The panel shows how many are left today. If the limit is used up, that response is not emailed; it stays in the form and the panel says so.
Can different answers go to different people?
Yes, with Pro. A rule such as “When the answer to Department is Sales, email sales@company.com” adds people to the responses that match. You can also send to the main list only when no rule matches.
Is NotifyLane free, and when can I install it?
Full-response emails to up to 3 people are free, with no limit on responses. Pro will be $4.99 a month or $39 a year. NotifyLane is not on Google Workspace Marketplace yet; write to us on the support page to hear when it is.
What can NotifyLane see in my Google account?
Only the form you use it in, and your email address. It can send email as you but cannot read your mailbox, and it cannot open your other forms or files.
