New Form Answer on Google Forms

Description:Emit a new event when the form is answered. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/forms/api/reference/rest/v1/forms.responses/list)

Google Forms Overview#

The Google Forms API lets you programmatically access and manipulate your forms and responses. In Pipedream, integrating Google Forms can automate mundane tasks, sync form data with other services, and trigger actions based on submission events. You can create, edit, and collaborate on forms, and analyze responses in real-time combined with Pipedream's serverless platform to create powerful workflows.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "google_forms-new-form-answer",
  name: "New Form Answer",
  description: "Emit a new event when the form is answered. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/forms/api/reference/rest/v1/forms.responses/list)",
  version: "0.0.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    generateMeta(response) {
      return {
        id: response.responseId,
        summary: "New Answer",
        ts: new Date(response.createdTime).getTime(),
      };
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const lastSubmittedTime = this.getLastSubmittedTime();
    const { responses } = await this.googleForms.listFormResponses({
      formId: this.formId,
      $,
      params: {
        filter: lastSubmittedTime && `timestamp >= ${lastSubmittedTime}`,
      },
    });
    if (!responses || !Array.isArray(responses)) {
      return;
    }
    const responseSorted = this.sortResponses(responses);
    this.setLastSubmittedTime(
      responseSorted.length && responseSorted[0].lastSubmittedTime,
    );
    this.emitResponses(responseSorted.reverse());
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Forms	`googleForms`	`app`	This component uses the Google Forms app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Form ID	`formId`	`string`	Identifier of a Google Form

Trigger Authentication#

Google Forms uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Forms account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Forms and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Forms API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.bodyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.body.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.responses.readonly

Microsoft Excel Overview#

The Microsoft Excel API on Pipedream allows you to automate spreadsheet tasks, manipulate data, and integrate Excel with other apps and services. Through Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows that react to events, perform operations on Excel files like reading, writing, updating cells, and managing worksheets. This API turns Excel into a powerful tool for data analysis, report generation, and task automation without manual intervention.
