  },
};

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

About Google Forms#
