How It Works​

The Get Form node retrieves the complete metadata and structure of an existing Google Form. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates the required input (Form Id)
  2. Retrieves the Google Form using the provided Form Id
  3. Uses the Google Forms API to fetch the complete form object
  4. Returns the form object with all metadata and structure information

Requirements​

  • A valid Google Forms form ID
  • Appropriate permissions to view the form

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Form Id
  • Google Forms API errors during form retrieval
  • Insufficient permissions to view the form
  • Form with the specified ID does not exist

Usage Notes​

  • The returned form object contains comprehensive information about the form's structure
  • This node is useful for inspecting form content or programmatically analyzing forms
  • The form object can be used with other nodes that process form data
  • The output includes all questions, sections, and form settings
  • This node does not modify the form in any way
  • The form object structure follows the Google Forms API specification
