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.

import googleForms from "../../google_forms.app.mjs";

export default {

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