How to connect Google Forms and MySQL

Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Forms and MySQL

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.

To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Forms or MySQL, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Google Forms, MySQL, 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 MySQL integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Forms and MySQL (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 MySQL

Google Forms + MySQL + Google Sheets: When a new form is submitted, the data is automatically inserted into a MySQL database. Simultaneously, a new row is added to a Google Sheet, providing a summarized view of the form submissions for reporting purposes.

MySQL + Google Forms + Slack: When a new row is added to a MySQL database, a Google Form is triggered for confirmation. The results from the Google Form are then posted to a designated Slack channel for review and notification.
