1.Captures new form responses
Integrate Google Forms and form capture tools to detect incoming submissions and include submission metadata to start payload formatting.
Send form responses as IoT data points to devices
Automatically detect new form responses across Google Forms. Create normalized telemetry payloads and write them to Ubidots device variables so device teams get structured IoT data points without manual rekeying.
How this automation delivers device telemetry signals
When a new form response arrives, delays can slow testing and configuration. This automation normalizes submission values and creates Ubidots data pointsβso your team receives consistent telemetry without manual reformatting.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.

Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
