How It Works

The Open Form node opens an existing Google Form using its URL, making it available for further operations. When executed, the node:

1. Validates the required input (Form URL)
2. Retrieves the Google Forms API credentials
3. Uses the URL to identify and access the Google Form
4. Establishes a connection to the form using the provided credentials
5. Returns the ID of the opened form for use with other nodes

Requirements

• Valid Google Forms API credentials
• Appropriate permissions to access the form
• Valid Google Form URL

Error Handling

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

• Empty or invalid Form URL
• Invalid or missing Credentials
• Google Forms API errors during form access
• Insufficient permissions to access the form
• Form URL does not point to a valid Google Form

Usage Notes

• The Form URL should be the full URL as seen in the browser when viewing the form
• The form must be accessible to the account associated with the credentials
• The returned form_id can be used with other Google Forms nodes to modify or retrieve information about the form
• This node does not modify the form in any way; it simply establishes a connection
• The form must exist and be accessible at the time of execution
