How to connect Google Groups and Formstack
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Groups and Formstack
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 Google Groups, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Groups or Formstack will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Groups or Formstack, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Groups Node

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, Formstack, 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 Groups and Formstack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and Formstack (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Groups and Formstack
Formstack + Google Groups + Slack: When a new form submission is received in Formstack, a summary of the submission is posted to a specified Google Group. Subsequently, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to inform members about the new post in the Google Group.
Formstack + Google Groups + Google Sheets: Upon receiving a new form submission in Formstack, the entry is saved to a Google Sheet. A summary of the form submission, along with a link to the Google Sheet, is then shared in a specified Google Group.
