Practical ways you can use Box and Google Forms
Back up Google Form responses as Box files
Stay organized by saving completed Google Form responses as separate files in Box. Whenever a new response is submitted in Google Forms, Zapier automatically creates a text file of the response and uploads it into a specified Box folder. This ensures you have easy access to important form data in a centralized location.
Business Owner
Organize Google Form submissions in Box
Simplify document management. When a Google Form response is submitted, Zapier creates a new folder in Box named after the respondent’s email or name. This workflow ensures that all submissions are easy to find and sorted effectively, reducing manual folder creation and improving record organization.
ITTrack marketing campaign entries in Box
Easily manage campaign responses. When a new Google Form response is received from your marketing campaign, Zapier automatically uploads the response as a file to Box. This keeps your entries neatly stored and easily accessible for collaboration and analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about Box + Google Forms integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Box and Google Forms
How do I connect Box with Google Forms in our platform?
You can connect Box with Google Forms by creating a new zap. Choose Google Forms as your trigger app and select an event, such as 'New Response in Spreadsheet'. For the action, select Box and choose events like 'Upload File' or 'Create Folder', allowing submissions from the form to directly influence activities in Box.
Can I automatically upload attachments from Google Forms submissions to Box?
Yes, using our platform, you can set up a zap where Google Forms is the trigger for when a new response is recorded. Then, use Box as the action app to either upload attachments as files or create specific folders for them automatically.
What types of files can be transferred from Google Forms to Box using our integration?
Our integration allows for various file types collected via Google Forms to be transferred into Box. Common file types include documents, images, and PDFs. The specific formats will depend on what uploads you have enabled within your Google Form.
Is it possible to organize uploaded files into specific folders in Box using responses from a Google Form?
Yes, you can organize files into specific folders based on form responses by setting up conditional workflows within our zap configuration. For example, based on certain answers in your form responses, you can dynamically create folders in Box.
Can changes in a shared folder on Box trigger actions related to my Google Form?
Currently, changes within a shared folder on Box do not serve as triggers for actions on your Google Form through our platform. Integration typically flows from Google Forms triggering actions in Box rather than the reverse.
How often does the sync between Google Forms and Box occur with this integration?
The sync frequency depends on your zap's setup and plan tier. Typically, Zapier checks for new data every few minutes for most plans, so updates between your form submissions and associated actions in Box happen routinely without significant delays.
Are there limitations on data transfer size when integrating Google Forms with Box?
In general, while we handle various data sizes during transfers between Google Forms and Box efficiently, factors like file size limits imposed by each platform must be considered. Ensure your file sizes conform with both Google's and Box's requirements.
