Notifications

Get an email when your form reaches a limit or closes on schedule, so you don't have to keep checking.

Enabling Notifications

1. Open your Google Form
2. Click the Add-ons (puzzle piece) icon → Choice Eliminator → Start
3. On the Form tab, set a response limit or a schedule
4. Turn on the alerts you want:
   • Notify when limit reached — the form closed, by response limit or schedule
   • Notify when a question is full — one question stopped accepting answers
   • Notify 24h before closing — a reminder before a scheduled close
5. Enter the Email address to notify
6. Click Save

Notifications cover whole-form events (response limit reached, scheduled close) and whole-question events (a question fills up and can no longer accept answers) — never individual choices being eliminated. Each has its own switch and each is off until you turn it on, so asking to hear that your form closed does not also sign you up for question alerts. One email per question, so a large signup can't flood your inbox.

What You'll Receive

When your form closes, you'll receive an email containing:

• The form name
• Why it closed (response limit or schedule)
• The final response count
• A link to view responses

You can also opt in to a reminder 24 hours before a scheduled close.

Managing Notifications

Emails go to the address you enter. By default that's the form owner's email. Use a Gmail address where possible — see the note below.

Deliverability

Notifications are sent through Google on behalf of your email address. If your domain has strict DMARC/SPF rules (common with custom domains, iCloud Mail, ProtonMail, or corporate email), messages may be rejected. Use a Gmail address for notifications to avoid this.

Tips

• Check your spam folder if you don't receive an expected notification.
• Notifications are a quick confirmation that your limits are working.
