Free Email Notifications

If you are using GoodSheet on the Free Tier, you can still receive notifications when your forms submitted by utilizing Google Docs’ built-in notification feature.

How it works

Google Docs provides an option to receive email notifications when someone makes changes to a document. Since GoodSheet uses a service account, you can take advantage of this feature to get notified whenever it updates your sheet …for free!

For more information, you can refer to Google’s official documentation or read on.
