Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Forms, Dropbox, 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 Dropbox integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Forms and Dropbox (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 Dropbox
Google Forms + Dropbox + Google Sheets: When a new form is submitted in Google Forms, the attached files are uploaded to a specific folder in Dropbox. The response data, along with the Dropbox file link, is then added as a new row in Google Sheets.
Google Forms + Dropbox + Slack: Upon receiving a new submission in Google Forms, any uploaded files are saved to a designated folder in Dropbox. Subsequently, a notification is sent to a specified Slack channel, informing users about the new submission and providing a link to the saved files in Dropbox.
