Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Google Groups, Formstack, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy."

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 + 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.
