Form Notifications

What are Notifications?

Notifications are emailed messages that detailed what a user filled out on a form and alerts form managers of new data coming in. These can be sent to multiple users, can be sent to any email, does not require a user to log into Wufoo, and is not limited to a single person to collect all data.

Without form notifications, form managers may miss important form data that is being collected and would only see data upon logging into OU Campus.
