Automatically archive Google Forms responses with URL Shortener

This automation allows users to automatically shorten the URLs of new or updated Google Forms responses using the URL Shortener by Zapier service.

Once the URLs are shortened, the automation saves the shortened links back to the specified destination, making it easier to manage and share form responses. This integration is designed for users who frequently work with Google Forms and need a streamlined way to handle the URLs associated with their form submissions.
