Smartsheet Sync Add-on for Google Forms

There are a few Smartsheet-Google Drive integration points available to install from the Chrome Web Store:

1. Smartsheet Merge: Strategically import Smartsheet data into your Google Document.

2. Smartsheet Sync: Store responses to Google Forms in a new sheet in Smartsheet.

3. Create new sheets from Google Drive: New sheets will be stored in Smartsheet, but a link will also be created in Drive so you can easily open them from there.

Before You Begin

Using the Smartsheet Sync Add-on

If the form has no title the sheet will be called Google Form Responses. For each field in the form, a column with a matching name will appear in the sheet. As the form is submitted, the responses will be captured in this new sheet.


6. When a sync is active, you'll see options toPauseandUnlink Smartsheetin the sidebar.
   • Pause: Stops sending responses to Smartsheet but keeps the sheet connected to the add-on. ClickResumein the sidebar to continue sending form submissions to Smartsheet.
   • Unlink Smartsheet: Stops sending responses to Smartsheet and disconnects the sheet from the add-on. Once Smartsheet is unlinked, starting a new sync will create a new sheet in Smartsheet.

NOTES:

• If you see an error that you can't use the integration because your domain has disabled third-party apps, your Google domain admin can resolve the error usingthese instructions on Google's support site. Reach out to the admin of your Google account and ask if they'd be willing to change the settings and allow your Google account to use third-party apps such as ours.
• Certain Google Forms fields, such as time, multi-select checkboxes, and multiple choice grids, don’t have matching column types in Smartsheet. Form responses for these fields will populate into a corresponding Text/Number column in your sheet by default, and the column type can be manually adjusted if desired.
• The Smartsheet Sync Add-on doesn’t currently support the File Upload field in Google Forms. This field will populate in Smartsheet as an encoded text value. To workaround this, use a text field in which people can paste the sharing link to a file stored in a cloud storage location, such as Google Drive
