For that, we have to configure both of these apps and add-ons. 

Step 4.To configure up the IFTTT: open the ifttt.com on your computer and then create the new applet from there. Choose the maker service for if-connection condition and set up the Event name as the name of your Google Form. Now you have to decide on the action for the if-this-then-that option and for that choose the Notifications as the service and set up the text as {{Value 1}}. After all that, click on the Finish button and just return back. Your IFTTT applet would be then created up, and it would be live for the whole of time. Now it’s the time to configure your Google forms side by side so that it could interact with the IFTTT to give the notifications.
