Whether you’re **[collecting data](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.questionpro.com\u002Fblog\u002Fsurvey-data-collection\u002F)**, managing feedback, or **[creating internal surveys](\u002Ftemplates\u002Fcategories\u002Fsurvey-forms\u002F)**, assigning roles and managing access ensures everything stays organized. \n\nIn this guide, we’ll walk you through how to create teams and assign roles using Formester.\n\n\u003Ciframe width=\"813\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fembed\u002Fv_58vrIKdx8?si=_erJVRi9VifGznvz\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003C\u002Fiframe>\n\n## Inviting Members to Your Organization\nWhen you sign up for Formester, your account automatically creates an organization. This is where you manage members and forms. Here’s how to get started:\n\n**Step 1: Navigate to Organization Members**\nGo to the Teams tab and click on Organization Members. This is where you can manage your team.\n\n**Step 2: Invite Members & Assign Roles**\nInvite people to join your organization by sending them an email invitation. When inviting, assign them one of these roles:\n\n* **Admin:** Has full control over all forms and settings in your organization.\n\n* **Staff:** Can only access the forms they’ve been given access to.\n\n**Step 3: Collaborate**\nOnce your invitee accepts, they can access your organization by switching to it from the top-right corner of the dashboard.\n\n### How to Create Teams and Assign Roles\nIf you need to collaborate with a group, the Teams feature is perfect. It lets you invite multiple people, group them into teams, and assign specific roles for better collaboration.\n\nFor example, if you want to run a company-wide survey, you can create a team called \"Employees\" and assign submitter access to all the employees in that team.\n\n**Step 1: Create a Team**\nGo to the Teams tab and create a new team. This allows you to manage forms and roles for the entire group.\n\n**Step 2: Invite Members & Assign Roles**\nSend email invites to your team members and assign one of these roles:\n\n* **Maintainer:** Can manage team memberships, roles, and has full access to all team-assigned forms.\n\n* **Member:** Can access forms assigned to the team but cannot manage members.\n\n**Step 3: Collaborate**\nAssign form-level access to the team to work together on specific forms or surveys.\n\n\n### Set Up Form Level Access\nForm-level access lets you control who can see and edit each individual form or survey. You can assign access to specific people or an entire team.\n\n**Step 1: Create a Form or Survey**\nUse Formester’s **[pre-built templates](\u002Ftemplates\u002F)** or **[AI form generator](\u002Fai-form-generator\u002F)** to quickly create your form or survey.\n\n**Step 2: Invite People & Assign Roles**\nGo to the Share tab in your form and invite people by searching for their names. Assign roles based on what they need to do:\n\n* Maintainer: Full control over the form, including managing access and editing.\n\n* Editor: Can edit the form and view submissions but cannot manage access.\n\n* Viewer: Can only view submissions and analytics.\n\n* Submitter: Can only fill out and submit the form.\n\nThis way, you control exactly who sees, edits, or reviews each form or survey, ensuring secure collaboration.\n\n\n### Why Use Collaborative Forms and Surveys?\nCollaborative forms and surveys are essential tools for modern teamwork. Here's why you should use them:\n\n* Clearly defined roles ensure everyone knows their responsibilities, making collaboration smooth and efficient.\n\n* Keep all your forms and access controls in one place for better organization.\n\n* Assigning specific roles reduces confusion and helps your team focus on their tasks.\n\n* Grant form-level access to individuals or teams, ensuring the right people have the right permissions.\n\n* Teams can easily collaborate on forms, share ideas, and manage feedback seamlessly.\n\n\n### Summary\nCollaborative forms make teamwork simple by letting you assign roles and control access easily. With **[Formester](\u002F)**, you can **[create teams](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fcollaborative-forms\u002F)**, set up roles, and manage permissions without any hassle. \n\nRoles like Maintainer, Editor, Viewer, and Submitter allow you to give the right access to the right people or groups. This saves time, keeps things organized, and improves teamwork. \n\n**[Sign up to Formester](https:\u002F\u002Fapp.formester.com\u002Fusers\u002Fsign_up)** today to make working on forms and surveys smoother and more productive!\n\n",1214,630,{"text":28},"4 min read",[30,48,68,87],{"title":31,"author":7,"authorImage":8,"authorProfile":9,"coverImg":32,"coverImgAlt":33,"createdAt":34,"description":35,"featured":14,"jsonld":36,"keywords":37,"metaDescription":38,"metaImage":39,"metaTitle":31,"publishedAt":40,"slug":41,"updatedAt":42,"__hash__":43,"body":44,"id":45,"coverImgWidth":25,"coverImgHeight":26,"readingStats":46},"How to Set Up RSVP by Text or Email (Free, 2026 Guide)","https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002FHow_to_Make_User_Research_Survey_1_021f23e5bd.png","an illustration of how to rsvp via text or email","2025-02-19T03:28:04.085Z","Discover how to RSVP via text or email using RSVP forms.

Then write the subject and body, or hand it to AI with a quick prompt: write a personalized subject line for an order confirmation email, or write a thank-you email using the form responses. Pull the respondent's name and answers into the copy so it reads as a real reply. Need to send a receipt or summary? Attach a PDF and it rides along with the email.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Step 4: Point It at the Right Recipient\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Pick the form field that captures the email address. That tells Formester exactly where to send each message, so it always reaches the person who submitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Step 5: Add Follow-Up Emails\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Want a second touch? Add another autoresponder. For a loyalty offer three days after the order, write the new email and, under Advanced Settings, set the send delay to three days. Stack a few of these and one submission runs a short sequence on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Step 6: Add Rules and Conditions\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Decide when each email should fire. Send the loyalty offer only to people who checked the receive-offers box, for example. The same logic lets you branch by product, plan, or any answer on the form, so the right people get the right email.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Step 7: Test It\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Submit a test entry and watch your inbox. The confirmation should land right away; the delayed follow-up arrives on schedule. Once both look right, you are done. Real submissions now run the same path automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>How Form Builders Handle Submission Emails\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>Most form tools can send an email after a submission, but how much work it takes varies. A quick lay of the land:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Google Forms has no built-in autoresponder. You need an add-on or a Sheets-and-Apps-Script workaround to email respondents.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Dedicated form builders like Jotform, Formstack, and WPForms ship native autoresponders, usually splitting the email to the respondent (confirmation) from the email to your team (notification).\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Formester runs the autoresponder natively inside the Automate panel, adds AI-written subject and body, PDF attachments, delayed follow-ups, and conditional triggers, with no add-on and no code.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Cp>If your form lives outside a builder, you can still wire submissions to email through \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fformester.com\u002Fintegrations\u002F\">Formester's integrations\u003C\u002Fa> and webhooks. The native route is just faster for most teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Stop Sending Form Emails by Hand\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>If you are still pasting the same reply after every submission, that time is gone for good. An autoresponder sends it for you, instantly, and personalizes it from the form data so it never reads like a template.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Build the form, write one email, set the trigger. From then on, every submission gets a fast, on-brand reply while you do something else. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fapp.formester.com\u002Fusers\u002Fsign_up\u002F\">Start free with Formester\u003C\u002Fa> and set up your first autoresponder in a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Csection class=\"faq\">\n\u003Ch2>Automated Email FAQ\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>What is an email autoresponder?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cdiv>An email autoresponder is a message that sends itself automatically after someone submits your form.

The address comes either from the Google account someone is signed in with, or from what they type, depending on the mode you chose.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is switched off by default, so a form collects nothing until you change the setting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdetails>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>What is the difference between the Verified and Responder input settings?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cp>Verified takes the address from the Google account the respondent is signed in with, which means signing in is compulsory. The address cannot be mistyped or faked, because Google supplies it rather than the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Responder input asks the respondent to type their address and needs no account at all. It reaches everybody, but nothing checks that the address is genuine or even spelled correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdetails>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>How do I stop a Google Form from collecting email addresses?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cp>In Settings, expand the Responses section. Set Collect email addresses back to Do not collect, and new submissions arrive without an address from that point on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Responses you have already received keep the addresses they captured, so switching it off is not retroactive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdetails>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>Can people see your email address on Google Forms?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cp>Other respondents cannot. Only people with edit access to the form or to the linked response spreadsheet can read the addresses collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Respondents do not see the form owner's address while filling in a form either.

Google pulls the address from the signed-in account without the respondent typing anything, and the form will not accept a submission from someone who is not signed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Responder input is the manual version, where the respondent enters the address themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdetails>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>Is collecting email addresses in Google Forms free?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cp>Yes. Both collection modes are part of the standard free Google Forms feature set, with no add-on or upgrade needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What costs money is verifying that a typed address genuinely belongs to the person, which Google Forms only does by requiring a Google account.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdetails>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>How do I hide an email address in a Google Form?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cp>There is no setting that collects an address while hiding it from your own response data, because collecting it and seeing it are the same switch.
