Forms and showing the info

[mmclaughlin]

As of right now, our schools have a form that the teachers fill out and then it will submit a announcement.  The announcements are emailed out to all of the faculty and they need to open it up to read it.  I would like to create a form (frog or google) that can be used to create the announcement and would like it to auto-populate a sheet with the information in it.  I am thinking like a mail merge and excel document.  Is this something Frog is capable of doing?  Is there a work around?  Thanks for any info you all might have.

Hi Matt,

So there's a couple of ways you could do this:

1. Add all the staff emails (or a group alias) to a Frog form - this will email the form to everyone on submission
2. Use the noticeboard widget instead - this keeps the number of emails down, allows for group-personalised messages on students dashboards and means messages can be set up in advance.

We went with a padlet embedded on our page and then have the teachers enter in their announcements and I just approve them.
