All of the major features work independently.  Use any one feature alone, or use all of them together.

   Data Director can send the Form response to an alternate spreadsheet.  It can send an email, or multiple emails.  It can add a guest to your calendar event, and it can create an entirely new calendar event.  The emails support HTML.  Email addresses can be static, (sent to the same address every time), or be dynamic, and come from the Form (Or both static and dynamic) Emails can be conditional.  In other words, you can send an email depending upon  how a form question was answered.  For example, if the person filling out the form chooses a name from a drop down list, conditions can be set to send an email to a specific email address.  There are lots of possibilities.  You could send an email to a particular email address based upon a department name, or a product choice.
     When your Google Form is submitted, the Data Director for Forms Add-on can get the last form submission, and save it to a second spreadsheet destination of your choice.  The destination spreadsheet can be any Google spreadsheet that your Google account has permission to write to.  For example: Your Google Form currently writes data to a spreadsheet, but you want the form response to also go into a second sheet in the same spreadsheet.  This Add-on can do that.  Or the Add-on can write a copy of the form response to a completely different spreadsheet.
     You should install this Add-on if you want to save a copy the form response to to a destination other than what is set in the Form's design.
     But that's not all Data Director can do!  Data Director will also create an Edit URL and/or a PreFilled URL, and save those links to the spreadsheet.

I'm using this add-on to customize google form responses and direct them to departments depending on response. I initially had an issue with setting up conditional email settings, but I sent the developer the issue and he responded that night! Not only did he fix the issue, he had me download a newer version that I did not know existed (I was originally using the data director original), which had added capabilities (unlimited email configurations - excellent!). I will definitely be using this app more and checking out the other features! Thanks Alan!

I love the app, but at this moment have too many failures.... Please help with that. After 4 days working it suddenly stops sending emails. At this moment I cannot go to settings, because it is only showing the help item and not the settings item...

Excellent. I run a service booking business and this app is a key component of the booking automation system. Without this component, I would have had to fork out thousands for an off-the-shelf booking system. Kudos to Alan for making this work and for being so responsive. Hint - make a good donation!
