How to Set Up Email Notifications in Typeform : Step-by-Step Guide
To get started, navigate to the specific form where you want to activate email notifications. This is the foundation step before linking any email services.
Next, look for the "Connect" option on the form’s settings page. Clicking this will begin the process of integrating your email service with the form.
In the search field that appears, type in Gmail to locate the Gmail integration option quickly among available services.
When you see Gmail in the list, select the Connect button next to it. This connects your Gmail account to the notification system.
At this stage, enter your Gmail email address to link your account securely. This allows the system to send emails on your behalf.
Once your Gmail account is successfully connected, you'll be automatically redirected to Zapier, where the next automation setup takes place.
Here, you’ll set up a Trigger event that kicks off the notification process. Connect this trigger to your Typeform account by clicking the Sign in button so Zapier can receive responses.
After configuring the trigger, proceed by clicking the "Continue" button to move forward with the integration setup smoothly.
Finally, verify that everything is working by selecting the "Test trigger" option. This helps confirm that your email notifications will be sent correctly when the trigger activates.
With the setup complete, you can now efficiently create a Supademo in just a few seconds and enjoy automated email notifications working seamlessly.
