Frequently Asked Questions about Google Forms + Shortcut integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Forms and Shortcut

Can I automatically create a Shortcut story when a Google Form is submitted?

Yes, by setting up a trigger for when a new response is received in Google Forms, you can automate the creation of a new story in Shortcut. This helps in seamlessly transitioning form data directly into actionable tasks within your project management workflow.

What types of fields from Google Forms can be mapped to Shortcut stories?

You can map various types of fields from Google Forms to Shortcut stories, including short answer, paragraph text, multiple choice selections, and even file uploads if needed. Specific form fields can correspond to story titles, descriptions, labels, and assignees in Shortcut.

Is it possible to update an existing Shortcut story with new responses from Google Forms?

Currently, our integration focuses on creating new stories rather than updating existing ones directly. Each form submission triggers the creation of a new entry in Shortcut.

How do I handle errors during the integration setup?

If you encounter errors during setup, our platform provides detailed logs that help diagnose the issue. Common problems might involve incorrect field mapping or lacking permissions; checking these settings often resolves errors swiftly.

Does this integration support conditional logic based on form responses?

The current setup does not support complex conditional logic directly within the integration process. However, workarounds involving multiple Zaps and filters can achieve similar outcomes depending on your specific workflow requirements.

Can I use this integration to assign tasks automatically in Shortcut from submitted forms?

Yes, you can set up rules that assign tasks automatically by mapping specific form responses to assignees within your team on Shortcut. This streamlines task management by reducing manual intervention.

What permissions are required for integrating Google Forms with Shortcut?

To integrate Google Forms with Shortcut successfully, administrative access is usually required initially to set up the connection securely. Both tools require permission to share data according to their respective privacy policies.
