Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Forms, Apify, 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 Google Forms and Apify integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Forms and Apify (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Forms and Apify
Google Forms + Apify + Google Sheets: When a new response is submitted in Google Forms, Apify scrapes related public data based on the form's content. The collected data, including the form response and the scraped data, is then saved in a new row in a Google Sheet.
Apify + Google Forms + Slack: Apify monitors a competitor's website by scraping it regularly. If the scraped data indicates a price change compared to the previous scrape, information from a specified Google Form (e.g., contact details) is used to send a notification to a designated Slack channel, alerting users to the price change.
