Google-sheets – Google Form to a spreadsheet

google sheetsgoogle-forms

I want to create a Google Form that a teacher can fill out a Discipline Form when sending a student to the office. That form will them notify the principal that a new form was sent to them and they can view that in the spreadsheet. That will make it MUCH easier for the teachers. However, the principals will need to print out the answers to each form for the student's files.

So I need to know if I can create a Google Form for teachers to submit but yet allow the principals to print out the form for student records. Is this possible?

This can be done with the use of Google Apps Script. You can have code fire off when a form is submitted. I used the Tutorial: Simple Mail Merge as a starting point. This allows me to send a custom email to the form responder as well as one to anyone else who needs a message. You could also generate a PDF for the student's file. I have seen others who are currently working on the same and are adding functionality for follow-up and resolution reporting.

Another option is to use existing Add-Ons. These may not give you as much functionality but can be implemented without knowing JavaScript and Google Apps Script, which is JavaScript based. I have not followed these instructions, but Get Google Forms Data in an Email Message is an article on using this method.
