How to Bulk Generate Certificates

Smart Certificates allows you to generate certificates in bulk for all collected form responses — perfect for post-event processing or generating missed certificates.

When Should You Use It?

After all responses have been collected (e.g., end of a course or event).

• When re-generating certificates due to template or mapping changes.

• For testing formatting across multiple submissions at once.

Steps to Generate in Bulk

• Open your Google Form.

• Go to Extensions → Smart Certificates → Open to launch the add-on sidebar.

• In the sidebar, see the “Bulk Generation” header.

Choose one of the following option :

Generate Certificates and Send

• Generates certificates and sends them via email to each respondent.
• Uses the email address mapped from your form.
• Ensures full automation of certificate delivery.

Generate Certificate Only

• Generates certificates for selected or all responses.
• The certificates are saved to your configured Google Drive folder.
• No emails are sent in this mode.
• Ideal for previewing or manually managing delivery.

• Click on Run.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following settings are configured before running bulk generation:

• ✅ A certificate template is selected.
• ✅ All placeholders in the template are mapped to form fields.
• ✅ A destination folder is set to save certificates.
• ✅ Output format (PDF or Image) is selected.
• ✅ If using passing criteria, ensure your form is a quiz with correct answer keys.

Can I Run It Again?

Yes! You can re-run bulk generation anytime. This is useful when:

• New form responses come in.

• You’ve updated your template or placeholder mappings.

• You need to regenerate due to failed delivery or manual corrections.
