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";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "google_forms-new-form-answer-update",
  name: "New Form Answer Update",
  description: "Emit a new event when an answer is sent or updated. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/forms/api/reference/rest/v1/forms.responses/list)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "last",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    generateMeta(response) {
      console.log(response);
      return {
        id: new Date(response.lastSubmittedTime).getTime(),
        summary: "New Answer Update",
      };
    },
  },
  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());
  },
};
