Google Forms

14min

With Google Forms modules in Make, you can search, create, retrieve, and update forms and move forms to trash, watch, list, and retrieve responses, and watch, search, add, update, and delete responses in Google Forms.

To use the Google Forms modules, you must have a Google account. You can create an account at docs.google.com/forms/.

To upgrade to a new version of the Google Forms app, you need to upgrade all modules manually by Replacing Legacy Modules with New Modules.

Refer to the Google Forms API Documentation for a list of available endpoints.

Make's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy.

Publishing Status

Testing: If you keep your project in the Testing status, you will be required to reauthorize your connection in Make every week. To avoid weekly reauthorization, update the project status to In production.

In production: If you update your project to the In production status, you will not be required to reauthorize the connection weekly. To update your project's status, go to the Google Auth Platform, the Audience section, and click Publish app. If you see the notice Needs verification, you can choose whether to go through the Google verification process for the app or to connect to your unverified app. Currently connecting to unverified apps works in Make, but we cannot guarantee the Google will allow connections to unverified apps for an indefinite period.

For more information regarding the publishing status, refer to the Publishing status section of Google's Setting up your OAuth consent screen help.
