How it works: The Template

Build your template in Google Docs or Google Slides

Add <<Merge Tags>> for any information or data that you want to be personalized

Add images, change typefaces, colors and sizes (in Slides, do this BEFORE you start your merge tag)

**You can always adjust the templates later

How it works: The Form

Build your Google Form

Add Form questions for every <<Merge Tag>> you added to the template

Request email addresses, even if you aren’t including them on your template

Be sure to flip the switch to *required for any questions that are mandatory (like name, email)

Troubleshooting in Slides

*Don’t duplicate slides! You have to hand type merge tags in Slides!

*To change color, italics, bold, size - do so BEFORE you type the merge tag
