    Sorry to keep bugging you.

    Is there any way to get an email containing the form contents?

    Right now the email only says that some form entry was made.

    My use case is that most of the entries will go into a table which will be displayed by another plugin on the wordpress site.

    I want to be able to react quickly if someone put in some inappropriate content.

    also this email might be better if it also contains a link to the target spreadsheet or summary rather than just the input form.

    No, the form contents are not cached and not available to send via email.

    If you search for Google Forms Notification email there are a number of references to Apps Scripts, like this one, which run in Google Docs which will do what you want to do. I don’t know of a better way to do it as I have no plans to cache the form variables which, while doable, is not a simple thing to do when forms can be of arbitrary length and have an unknown number of fields.

    The URL for the results spreadsheet is unknown within the WordPress context so there is no way to send it in the email.
