Google Forms
Description
Google Forms is a survey and form-building tool that lets you collect responses through custom online forms.
Setup guide
Follow this setup guide to connect Google Forms to Improvado.
Authorize Improvado with your Google account:
Before authorizing, make sure you are signed in to the Google account that owns the forms you want to extract data from.
In the authorization form, click Connect with Google. You will be redirected to Google to sign in.
Review the requested permissions and click Allow. Improvado asks for your name, email address and access to the Google Drive files you choose. You will be redirected back to Improvado automatically.
On the connection page, the Google file picker opens. Select the forms you want to extract data from and click Select. To add forms later, click Add files in the Google Drive files section of the connection page. See Google File Picker for a walkthrough with screenshots.
After the connection process is completed successfully, the Google Forms connection will appear in your Connected sources list.
When the connection status is Active, and the account status column shows a number of forms, you can move on to data extraction. Each form you chose is listed as a separate account, so you can select exactly which forms to extract.
To extract data from the connected sources, check the instructions on how to set up data extraction.
- Improvado can access only the forms you choose in the file picker. Google describes this permission as “See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app”; Improvado only reads your forms, their structure, and their responses, and never edits or deletes anything.
- Google does not support revoking access to a single file. To revoke access entirely, remove Improvado from the connected apps of your Google account.
- The file picker needs your browser to allow Google cookies on this page. If you use Brave and the forms you choose do not appear, click the Brave Shields icon in the address bar, set Cookies to Allow all, and choose the forms again.
