Tip
titleWhere do I find it?

You can enable the option to receive form alert emails by going to Services > My Settings

When an online form has been submitted, volunteers who have chosen to receive alerts for forms will receive an email with a link to the form as well as a link to the forms status page. Volunteers can specify to receive alerts on all forms, or just forms where they are listed as the foster. Only volunteers with the appropriate roles for Online Forms have access to online forms. Please see the section on About roles, security, and permissions in the Getting started with RescueGroups.org guide.

A volunteer who does not have the alerts enabled can still get an alert if a form has been assigned to them. You may prefer this method with one point person receiving alerts and then assigning the forms to volunteers for follow up.
