Automatically confirm new form leads and alert your team by email

When someone fills out your form, the system emails them a confirmation and alerts your team instantly.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

You want leads who fill out your form to hear back right away, but replying to every submission by hand is slow and easy to forget. Meanwhile your team can miss new leads sitting unseen in an inbox or spreadsheet.

Who it fits

Freelancers, agencies, and small businesses collecting leads through an online form.

How it works

  1. A new form submission is added as a row in your spreadsheet.
  2. A personalized confirmation email is sent to the person who submitted the form.
  3. A second email with all the submission details is sent to your internal team.
  4. Everyone knows the lead came in without anyone checking manually.
What you get

Leads who hear back within seconds

Every new lead gets an instant confirmation email and your team gets notified right away.

What you get

An automatic confirmation email to the lead and a notification email to your team with the full submission details.

What you need

A Google Workspace account for Sheets and Gmail.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
