Description  

Google Forms can be connected as a data source in Datahash. This is done using the Google Forms AppSheet add-on, which automatically converts a Google Form into an AppSheet app. The add-on analyzes your form, maps questions to a linked response sheet, and makes the data available for integration.

  • Navigate to the Lead Generation category under Sources in the left panel.

Authenticate with Google  

  • Click Sign in with Google to start the authentication flow.
  • Select the Google account you want to connect.
  • Click Continue.
  • You will be redirected back to the Datahash dashboard.

Configure the Connection  

  • Provide a name for this connection.
  • Choose the Google Form from which you want to send data.
  • Click Test Connection.
  • A preview of the data received from the form will be shown.
  • Once confirmed, click Finish to complete the setup.
  • Your connected Google Forms instance will now appear on the dashboard.

Managing Instances  

Adding a New Instance
