Email notifications at any step of the form intake process – not just after final submission, is a very powerful feature for any Forms Automation solution.

Email recipients could be either explicit email fields within the form, programmatically extracted from form fields or pre-determined by the Form creator.
Google Forms provides some basic email notification features but at this time does not have as advanced features as AEM Adaptive Forms.
