How it works
Google Forms collects information through forms and surveys. Connect it to your Zite app to read forms and their responses. App visitors use the account you connect, without connecting their own Google accounts. By connecting Google Forms, you can:- Find forms available to the connected account
- Read a form’s questions
- Display submitted responses with their question labels
- Search and filter responses in your app
- Summarize survey results in dashboards
How to integrate Google Forms into your app
1
Connect to Google Forms
Ask Zite to connect Google Forms, or click + in the chat box, select Integrations, then choose Google Forms. Sign in to the Google account with access to the forms and responses you need, then approve the requested access.
2
Describe your use case
Tell Zite which form to use and what you want to see. For example, “Show responses from our Customer feedback form, grouped by satisfaction rating.”Provide the form’s name or link and describe any filters or summaries you need.
3
Test and publish
Compare several responses in your app with Google Forms, including answers to grid questions. Check how the app looks when there are no responses.Click Publish in the upper right corner when the results are correct.
Common use cases
With a Google Forms connection, you can create apps like:- Feedback Dashboards: Summarize customer ratings and comments.
- Application Review Tools: Browse submissions and filter answers.
- Survey Browsers: Look up responses to a selected question.
- Form Directories: List forms available to the connected account.
Important notes
- Read-only connection: Your app cannot create, edit, or delete Google Forms or their responses through this connection.
- New responses: Responses are not automatically sent to Zite as they arrive. Ask Zite to add the refresh behavior your app needs.
- Question labels: If questions share a title or use a grid, ask Zite to distinguish every answer clearly. Compare the results with the original form.
- Finding forms: Google asks for access to file names and other file details so Zite can find your forms. This permission does not grant access to the contents of other Drive files.
- Response access: Connect an account that can read responses, not just open the form to fill it in. Choose app access with those responses in mind.
