Google Forms

Google Forms is a good source when you want a workflow that creates a document every time someone submits a form. This page covers how to turn on auto-create so new submissions are processed automatically, and how to manually run older responses.

For the full automation setup (including filters and edge cases), see auto-create from Google Forms.

Turn on auto-create for your form

Once your workflow has at least a Google Form source and a document, slide or email block, click the Automate button in the top right:

Toggle auto-create on:

After a few seconds you'll see a status indicator in the top right confirming auto-create is on:

From now on, every new form submission runs through the workflow.

Manually process previous responses

If you have responses from before auto-create was turned on, or you just want to re-run a few, you can process them manually. Click the Automate button in the top right:

To process every response, click Start:

To process specific responses, switch the dropdown to Custom range and enter the response numbers:

In the example above, responses 3 to 5 and response 11 will run. Use a hyphen for a range (3-5) and commas for individual responses (3, 5, 11).

Response numbers are based on the order responses were submitted.

If you delete a response in Google Forms, the response numbers below it will shift up. The response number always reflects the current order of responses, not the original submission order.
