Google Forms

Reach the Forms API from your workflow with a custom API call

Forms is the newest of Docxster's Google integrations, and it is still early. It offers a custom API call for anything a dedicated action does not cover yet. If your workflow needs Forms today, you do not have to wait for a purpose-built action to ship.

How it works

Forms does not have a fixed set of triggers and actions yet. It has a custom API call instead. You use it to reach whatever part of the Forms API your process needs.

That means Forms can already support jobs like pulling form responses or managing a form's structure. Those jobs will not be point-and-click actions in the workflow builder until dedicated actions arrive.
