Sometimes of all the time, it is hard to know when your survey has been submitted- especially if you open the page after you click submit and see a blank survey form. The frustrating thing is that if this happens when you are just following the submission instructions, then you might have submitted your form and not even realize it. For example, lets say you included an email address in your form’s email field, so that users can reach out before they complete the survey. Sometimes this causes embedded HTML code to overwhelm your withdrawal button and automatically submit your form upon clicking on it. Before submitting your forms again , try refreshing the screen and waiting for all of the pages to load.
Signs your form submission has been received
If you submitted a form on Google Drive and followed the instructions, you should see a confirmation email in your inbox stating that your form submission has been received. If you don’t see the email, there is a chance that your submission may not have gone through. Here are some common reasons why Google might not have accepted your form:
-Your form was too large or complicated to process
-Your form wasn’t filled out completely
-Your form didn’t include any relevant information
pings or notifications that your form submission was received
There are a few ways you can find out if your Google Form submission has already been received.
The first way is to check if there are any pings or notifications that have been sent to you. Depending on the type of form you submitted, you may receive an email notification or a notification on your Google Form submission page. If you don’t see any notifications, then it likely means that your submission has already been received.
The second way to find out if your submission has been received is to check the Google Forms Statistics page. This page contains information about how many submissions were made, how many were completed, and how many were rejected. If your submission has already been received, it will be listed on this page. The third way to check on your submission status is to go directly to the form’s submission confirmation page. If you were able to respond via this method directly, it means that your response has already been received. At some point after the last possible date of responses, there will be a statement about when all submissions have been received for each question. Locate that statement and view the dates for which you submitted your answers; it will likely say something like “Last possible February 26, 2017” or “
troubleshooting google form submissions
If you’ve submitted a Google Form and are wondering if it’s been received, here are some tips to help you troubleshoot the situation.
1. Check your email inbox: If you submitted the form through your Gmail account, you should check your email inbox for an email from Google with the subject line “Google Form Submission Received.” If you submitted the form through Google Drive, or if you submitted the form using a different email account, check your spam folder or contact the person who sent you the form to see if they’ve contacted you about it.
2. Try re-submitting the form: If your form was submitted through Gmail or Google Drive, and you don’t see an email about it in your inbox or spam folder, try re-submitting the form using those same methods. Sometimes Google mistypes an email address when they send out notifications about form submissions, so submitting the form again might help fix the problem.
3. Contact Google: If neither of the above tips work, contact Google support to ask if they’ve received your form submission.
