Hi there,
I’d like to setup a scheduled time when emails (Gmail) are sent to a printer’s email address for each of the form responses (Google Forms) every day at a specific time. What is the best method to use for this with the Zapier?
Thank you!

Not sure if this will solve for your use case, but check out Digest: https://zapier.com/apps/digest/help
Hi Troy,
Thank you for your suggestion. From what I understand, Digest can send out a summary of fields from the process, but my use case requires that each record (row of data) prints separately. I’m new to Zapier and would love any other suggestions I can look into using.
Thanks again for your help! :)

Why not send each in real-time?
I’m trying to send each to an ePrint service via diningorders@printer.com, but there is no queue. I’d like to somehow delay the time when the records are printed. Since they are for meal prep orders, breakfast will be printed at a certain time, lunch, and dinner at their own times so that the printed sheets are not lost if an order is placed the day/night before it’s meant to be prepared.

Try this then...Use a Delay > Delay Until.
You may have to get a bit more advanced and use a Code step first to determine the timestamp of when the Zap triggered then do an evaluation whether to delay until a designated time TODAY or TOMORROW.
This will achieve the effect of a queue.
Okay. I’ll give that a shot. Thank you.
I’m curious, is it possible to query the Google Spreadsheet for a specific date/time then email all the records and include a count of how many it prints (n out of x)?
Thank you.

You’d have to configure a GSheet tab that has some formulas (e.g. QUERY, FILTER) on it that takes an input that you pass in from the Zap and will return those 2 numbers.
Oh that gives me an idea. Thank you. Let me try these suggestions out and hopefully it does the trick! :)
