Email Send Default

Set default send email address

In our case, we created an alias to our bedfordnhk12.net domain to our sau25.net address. This option gave us the ability for all our email to have the sau25.net extension when sent to parents & outside agencies since that is our presence in the community.

These are the one-time instructions to set what email address all your email gets sent with.  You can have multiple email addresses but all can be sent with a specific email address.  Here are the user instructions to do that inside their Mail Settings.

Step 1: Click on the gear in the upper right of your mail screen & select Settings

Step 2: Click on the Accounts tab

Step 3: Click on Add another email address you own

Step 4: Click the “make default” option on the email address that you would like your “send

           mail as” set to.  Make sure the radio box selected is “ Always reply from default

           address”.  Once it is set it will read “default”

Step 5: Click Save and then you are done.

FormEmailer Script Instructions

This Formemailer script will automatically send an email to the person filling out your Google Form.  The basic steps to follow are listed below.  I have also included a great video I found on YouTube that walks you through the entire process as well.

Step 1: Create a form in google drive.  Be sure one of the data elements you are capturing is an email address 
of the person filling out the form.

Step 2: Create the response spreadsheet

Step 3: Go to the “Response” spreadsheet

Step 4: Click Insert / Script

Type formemailer in the search box and then click Install

l

 

Click “Continue” on the Authorization required popup box

Click “Accept” on the Request Permissions

Click Close

Step 5: Go back to the Responses spreadsheet for your form.  

Click on the Formemailer option and click Install

Once installed, it will bring you back to the Formemailer tab of the responses spreadsheet.  

This is an informational tab only.  

Step 6:  Go back to the responses tab of the spreadsheet

Step 7:  *  Ciick on FormEmailer and select Settings. The screen below will appear.

            *  Click on the Email tab, In the Answers placeholders select the Email address

*  Click in the To: box  then click the “insert placeholder” and it will insert the email field you are

               collecting from the google form.

*  In the Subject and Body areas, you can change the information to format it the way you wish

   pulling the data you are collecting from your form.  

* Then click Save and Close
                

Step 8:  The final step is to Add a Trigger so when the form is filled out it will automatically email them the

              information from the form (i.e. agenda, etc)

* Again, you are in the Responses spreadsheet of your form

* Click Tools / Script Editor

* Click Resources / Current Project Triggers

* Click Add New Trigger and select timedriven, from spreadsheet and the on form submit and click

Save as indicated in the screenshot below. 

* Once the trigger is created you can close the formemailer editor tab.

Adding Script to Google Form to Email Responses

Google Drive script add-ons

Google Drive scripting options are available to better manage folders between teachers & students.     These are scripts that we have found useful are:

GClass Folders - folder management for entire classroom or school for variety of reasons

Doctupus          - teacher owns folder & can monitor progress

Goobric            - google rubric

Flubaroo           - create a quiz and test with instant feeback

Autocrat           - use this to merge various files

You can find instructions anywhere for these script add-ons, this is the best one I found for documented instructions for all these: EdTechPirates  

Doctupus Instructions video

I had some basic instructions on how to use Doctupus but wanted to document the entire process. Once I found this video I realized why try to invent the wheel.  I found this video on Amy Mayer's blog. Great job on this video - Here is a link to Amy's blog.  I have embedded her video below.

This makes the managing of documents between teacher & students much more manageable.  Try it out!  Stop by 222 if you have any questions!
