With Google Forms, it’s easy to create an interactive survey that recipients can fill out directly in their email clients. In this tutorial, we show you how to create and embed a Google Form in an email, ready to send out to the world.
How to Create a Google Form Survey or Poll
To embed a Google Form in your email, you’ll first need to create your form with all its questions and answers. Alternatively, you can go to forms.google.com and create your form from there by pressing on the “+” button in the lower-right corner. Make sure you’re logged in with your Google account. Once your form is ready, follow the steps in the next section to embed the Google Form in your email.
How to Embed the Google Form Into Your Email
Tip: check the box next to “Collect emails” (at the top) if you want the recipients to provide their email addresses before filling out the form. You may want this data, but it may put many people off from filling out the form, so be wary of that. You can use any email, such as Yahoo and Outlook, to embed your Google Forms. However, you must first create the Google Form using your Gmail account via Google Drive, then mail it to your own Gmail account or other services from where you can forward the embedded Google Form. Tip: is Google Drive not uploading files? Our guide shows you how to fix the problem. Sadly, Google Forms doesn’t show a preview of how the form will actually look in an email. To avoid any mishap, you must email the form to yourself first. Once you are happy with it, send it to the actual recipients. The following screenshot shows how an embedded Google Form looks in an email. The recipient can easily fill out the form right directly from the email or click on “Fill in using Google Forms” to open the form in a separate window. All screenshots by Mehvish Mushtaq
