Review form responses when the form closes
A form-closure review automation covers checking responses, waiting a set time, confirming review happened, and sending a reminder if it didn’t.
Share template
A form closes, responses stop coming in, and then somebody still needs to read what came in and follow up if that never happens. This automation starts when a form expires and keeps the review from slipping through the cracks, because the reminder only shows up after the waiting period and a quick check-in step.
The flow goes in plain steps: Review the responses comes first, then Wait 3 days, then Reviewed? as the decision point. If the answer is no, Remind whoever made the form sends the nudge to the person responsible, so the final state isn’t “the form is closed” but “the responses got seen.”
- Trigger Starts when the form is expired, so the follow-up only begins once responses stop.
- Review the responses Puts the review step first, so somebody actually reads what came in before anything else happens.
- Wait 3 days Holds for three days before checking whether the review happened.
- Reviewed? Uses a yes or no check to decide whether to end the flow or send a reminder.
- Remind whoever made the form Sends the reminder to the form owner if the review still hasn’t been confirmed.
The automation needs an email address on the form, and every step runs inside Plutio, so nothing depends on a third-party account. Once the form expires, the automation runs through the steps and sends the reminder only if the review hasn’t been confirmed.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
Every step, in order
Plutio runs these 4 steps top to bottom, from the trigger through each action and condition. Every one arrives configured and stays editable. The automation is added as a draft, so it sends nothing until you turn it on.

Questions about this automation template
How do I remind someone to review form responses after the form closes?
A form-closure automation can start when the form expires, wait a set number of days, and then send a reminder if the review still hasn’t been confirmed. This one waits three days and only reminds the person who made the form if the check step comes back as not reviewed.
Can an automation run when a form expires?
Yes, the trigger can be “When Form is expired,” which fires when the form closes to new responses. The rest of the automation runs from that point.
What do I need for a form-closure automation to send reminders?
The form needs an email address so the reminder has somewhere to go. Every step runs inside Plutio, so no third-party account is required.
How long should I wait before following up on form responses?
The waiting period depends on how quickly the responses need to be reviewed. This automation uses a three-day wait, then checks whether the review happened before sending any reminder.
How does the automation know whether the responses were reviewed?
The flow includes a “Reviewed?” decision step that acts as the confirmation point. If the answer is no, the reminder step runs; if yes, the automation can stop there.
Does the reminder always send when the form closes?
No, the reminder only comes after the wait and only if the “Reviewed?” step isn’t confirmed. The automation starts on form expiry, but the nudge depends on the check.
