Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, Google Forms, 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 Google Forms integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and Google Forms (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 Google Forms
Google Forms + Google Groups + Slack: When a new response is submitted in Google Forms, the respondent is added to a specified Google Group. Subsequently, a welcome message is sent to the user via Slack using their email address to find their Slack ID and send a direct message.
Google Forms + Google Groups + Google Sheets: When a new response is submitted in Google Forms, the respondent is added to a specified Google Group. The details of the new member are then added as a new row in Google Sheets for record-keeping purposes.
