How to pause Email Notifications for Google Form Submissions

With Google Forms Notification you can temporarily stop sending emails. You can start sending emails again any time.Here's a quick guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Open the Processor Editor:​

    • Launch the Form Email Notifications add-on and navigate to the Processor Editor.

  2. Locate the Processor:​

    • Find the Processor that you want to pause. Processors are listed in the editor, each with a name and additional details.

  3. Pause the Processor:​

    • Look for the "Pause/Activate" toggle button associated with the Processor.
    • If the button is blue, it indicates that the Processor is currently activated.
    • Click on the toggle button to pause the Processor. Once paused, the button will turn red.

  4. Confirmation:​

    • Confirm that the Processor is successfully paused by checking the color of the toggle button.

When a Processor is paused, it will not be evaluated for incoming form submit responses. This means that email notifications associated with that Processor will not be sent during the paused state.
