Once you have completed the form, you can email it to combinepoints@hyatt.com. Alternatively, you can send a paper form by mail, but email will probably be more convenient (and faster) for most members.
I have received points from other World of Hyatt members through this process. In one case, it took just 31 hours for the points to arrive in my account after I emailed a request to Hyatt. But a transfer in 2022 took almost a week.
Hyatt’s terms and conditions state that both members must have active accounts and that the member transferring points waives all rights to the combined points after submitting the form.
