How to connect GoCanvas and Google Forms
Create a New Scenario to Connect GoCanvas and Google Forms
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a GoCanvas, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, GoCanvas or Google Forms will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find GoCanvas or Google Forms, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the GoCanvas Node
Select the GoCanvas node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring GoCanvas, Google Forms, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the GoCanvas and Google Forms integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GoCanvas and Google Forms (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect GoCanvas and Google Forms
GoCanvas + Google Forms + Slack: When a new submission in GoCanvas indicates a failed safety inspection, the details are sent to Google Forms to initiate a review process. A notification is then sent to the safety manager via Slack.
Google Forms + GoCanvas + Google Sheets: When a customer submits feedback via Google Forms, a follow-up inspection is created in GoCanvas. The results of this inspection are then recorded in Google Sheets.
