📝 Overview

Yoom provides Google Forms integration as part of its app triggers.

With this feature, you can trigger a Flowbot when a response is submitted to a Google Form.

By default, the following response data can be retrieved:

✔️ Answer ID

✔️ Final answer date/time

✔️ Response creation date/time

✔️ Responder’s email address

To retrieve the actual response content, you need to use JSONPath to add outputs.

This guide explains two methods for retrieving the response data from Google Forms.


🔹 Method 1: Directly Retrieving Answer Content from the Trigger

Use this method if your Google Form does NOT contain sections.

Step 1. Retrieve response data from Google Forms

1. Open your Google Form and submit a test response from the preview screen.

2. In Yoom, go to the trigger settings page, enter the Form ID, and click Test.

❓ How to find the Form ID

The Form ID is the part between /d/ and /edit in the URL.

Example:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/●●●/edit 

The ●●● part is the Form ID.

Step 2. Add Answer Content to the Output

1. After running the test, press the + Add value to Retrieve at the bottom of the screen.

2. Click the + button next to the answer content displayed under answers.

Step 3. Rename and Format the Output

1. Move your cursor over the newly added value and click the pencil icon ✏️.

2. Rename it to match the question name from Google Forms.

3. Keep the automatically added JSONPath and click Save.
