Frequently asked questions
Answers about Google Forms, automatic reminders, and getting started with FormReminder.
What is FormReminder?
FormReminder is a simple tool that helps you get everyone in your group to fill out an online form — automatically. You send one invitation and FormReminder takes care of sending reminders only to those who haven’t submitted yet.
How does FormReminder work?
You create your form in Google Forms. Then you connect it to FormReminder with a secure Google sign-in, add your invitees, and send the invitation. FormReminder tracks who has completed the form and sends automatic reminders only to the people who haven't.
Which form builders does FormReminder work with?
FormReminder works with Google Forms. If you use a different form builder that you'd like to use with FormReminder, please let us know.
Do I need to create the form inside FormReminder?
No. Build your form in Google Forms the way you always do. FormReminder connects to it and checks for new submissions.
Will FormReminder automatically know who has completed the form?
Yes. FormReminder checks the responses in your connected Google Form. It matches the email addresses of your invitees to the submissions and automatically stops reminding those who have submitted. Your form needs to collect email addresses for this to work.
Do I have to install anything?
No. FormReminder is a fully online service — no installation required.
Can I customize the reminder messages?
Yes. You can customize both the initial invitation message and the reminder message.
Does FormReminder store any data about form submissions?
We do not store your form responses. FormReminder simply checks your Google Form to see which invitees have submitted. We may store minimal status information (such as whether a reminder email was sent to a given address) so we can track reminder progress, but your actual form data stays in your Google Form.
How secure is FormReminder?
FormReminder connects to your Google Form through Google's secure API and uses Google sign-in, so your Google credentials are never shared with us. We follow best practices for account security, data privacy, and email sending.
What types of forms is FormReminder good for?
FormReminder is great for:
- Permission slips
- Meal orders
- Surveys
- Annual commitments
- Signup sheets
- School or group information collection
- Any form where you want 100% participation.
