Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Forms, Slack bot, 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 Slack bot integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Forms and Slack bot (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 Slack bot
Google Forms + Google Sheets + Slack bot: When a new response is submitted in Google Forms, the data is added to a Google Sheet. A Slack bot then sends a thank you message to the submitter via direct message.
Slack bot + Google Forms + Google Calendar: Use a Slack bot command to trigger the creation of a new Google Form and automatically add an event to Google Calendar. The Slack bot confirms the event creation in the channel.
