Our organization, JOYweavers has a subscription until March and will be renewing. As I updated our forms, I wanted to send it to collaborators to review. They are getting messages that their trials have expired and they need to have paid subscriptions. Our total number of forms is limited to 5 and honestly we cannot afford to upgrade our plan. I don't understand why there is not a way that I can continue to review forms with our staff. There are 2 2026 forms I need their input on. You have a really good product and it served us well last year. We would like to stay the course if we can. There is a second share link to consider as well. https://near.tl/sm/F0UrM2yY_
Thank you for your help
The subscription is linked with the email account used to subscribe to the paid plan. Only that account can be used to create the form and collect responses. You can add collaborators in the form to provide access, but please note that the collaborators will need to subscribe to the paid plan to access Formesign after their trial ends.
If you just need to provide access to the form responses, there are three options:
#1 Notification emails
You can set up email notifications for new responses to be sent to your team. Please note that collaborators will need to subscribe to the paid plan to edit and manage responses using Formesign.
Login to Formesign > click Forms > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Responses > In the Responses page, click on the three dots more icon next to the Submitted status > click Notify collaborators > enter the email address, click Next > follow the prompts to complete the email set up.
When the user fills the form and submits it, the notification email will be automatically sent to the configured email addresses. If you would like to notify multiple collaborators, you can use comma as a separator to add multiple email addresses.
#2 Sync to drive
You can set up the sync to drive option to automatically save the signed forms to your Google Drive folder as well as sync the responses to Google Sheets. There are two options to do this setup:
1️⃣ Formesign addon for Google Forms:
https://formesign.com/esign/how-to-sync-signature-and-signed-document-to-google-drive.html
2️⃣ Formesign Drive page (new):
https://near.tl/support/drive-page-manage-signed-documents.html
Once you have set up the sync to drive, the signed PDFs will be automatically synced to the selected Google Drive folder. You can add your team as a collaborator in this folder to provide access.
#3 Submit to google forms
By default, the responses will be recorded only in Formesign. You can view the form submissions in the Formesign Responses and the Reports page. If needed, you can enable the option to submit responses to Google Forms.
Login to Formesign > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the Submit to google forms option and click Save. Once enabled, new responses will be recorded in Google Forms. If you have linked your google forms with google sheets, the responses will be synced to google sheets. You can add your team as a collaborator in the linked google sheet to provide access to the responses.
