Google Forms – How to Email Form Daily

google-forms

Is it possible to email out a Form created with Google daily? I would like to do this simply to email myself a form for use in personal data aggregation.

One specific use I'd like to do this for: I am an amateur musician, and I want to create a Form through which I can select the songs I've played (or if I've even played at all) daily. I could do this by going to Google Drive, selecting the form, and filling it out daily, but the email feature would be a convenient and handy reminder, especially since I can easily fill it out while in Gmail.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

You can "embed" the form in an email, and then use "boomerang" to send that email repeatedly... Here's a excerpt from two pages:

How to Embed A Survey Form in Email And Receive Higher Completion Rate [Google Forms]

Creating & Embedding a Google Form in Email

  1. From your Gmail account, navigate to Google Drive and click “Create -> Form”.
  2. Complete the necessary questions for your survey (as shown below) and click Done.
  3. When the “send the form to others” dialog box pops up, enter in the relevant email address you want to send the form to and ensure the “Include form in this email is ticked”. When you’re sure all the details are correct, click “Send”.
  4. When the client receives the email, they will see the survey embedded in the email and will be allowed to answer it directly instead of using the link. As shown in the example below, the recipient chooses the appropriate radio buttons and clicks Submit.
  5. When the Submit button is clicked, a message box pops up stating that the recipient is submitting the information to an external website. They will need to click OK to continue.
  6. A new tab opens (within the relevant browser) indicating the survey has been submitted.
  7. To ensure that the response was successfully received, navigate to the form in Google Drive and open up the survey form. The results should be recorded as shown below.

As previously stated, Google forms cannot be filled out within an email unless the recipient is using Gmail or Google Apps. This means that if the form is sent to emails such as Outlook or Yahoo, there is no option available to submit the survey directly within the email. Instead, the user has to click on the external link to access the survey page.

I'd suggest you use the above info, and email the form to yourself. Then use the info below to send it repeatedly
