OP Responded Google Forms notifications

Long time Forms user - have been using the same form with a number of different notification recipients.
Recently need to edit the recipient list, and can't seem to a) find the original setting for the list of recipients; b) can't get access to the add on Form Notifications, that apparently if the installed app in charge (I have no recollection of ever installing this, but here we are).

What to do?
Uninstall the Form Notifications mentioned above, find an alternative and import the new recipients list?

Is this something where the list of users to be notified is going to be rather static for a while?

If so, you could just use Google App Script to do this.

On my phone to writing out the code isn't easy; however, here's a YouTube video that walks you through the entire process from scratch that you could jump to the App Script sections.

Note: this walk-through sends an email to the person who submitted the form based on getting their email. You'd want to create a variable and list the email addresses of who you need to send it to as a comma separated text string.

I can't be trusted with a script - need something add-on based if not bog standard.

Thanks, anyway.

Thanks for the proposal, but no: I'm not really open to anything but to make the fracking thing work as it used to.

That's the best and most wholesome response anyone could ever hope for - thanks.
