The Google Form Response trigger starts a workflow for each newly received response to one form. It exposes the respondent, question IDs, text answers, and quiz score without requiring a polling action in the workflow.

​
Set up the trigger

1

Choose a Google account

Select an account with permission to read responses for the form.
2

Copy the form's edit URL

Open the form in Google Forms and copy its editing URL.
3

Enter the Form URL

Paste the URL into Form URL, then save the trigger configuration.
4

Submit a new response

Test with a response submitted after the trigger has been configured.

​
Configuration

When the trigger is initialized, it records the current time and watches for later responses. It does not intentionally replay existing form submissions.
Each Google notification fetches at most 100 new responses. A burst larger than that between notifications is not paginated by the current trigger.

​
Trigger data

Each Answers item contains:
The trigger currently exposes text answers. File-upload answer details are not included in the node output.

​
Example: route intake responses

Question IDs are stable identifiers and are safer for routing than relying on question order.

​
Troubleshooting

Confirm the URL is the form’s editing URL, the connected account can read responses, and the response was submitted after the trigger was configured.
Google only supplies an email when the form is configured to collect one.
Checkbox-style or other multi-answer questions can produce more than one value. Process Text Answers as a list.
