I'd like to use a Google Form for qualifying customers prior to booking them for an event. Depending on their answers, I'd like to either send them to a success page or disqualification page (external URLs).

Currently, Neartail does not have a built-in feature to automatically generate a lucky draw number for each participant. However, you can create a unique identifier by using a combination of the submission timestamp and their student ID or name. The other option is to use the autogenerated order number. When a user submits the form, Neartail generates a unique order number. This number starts from 1 and is incremented by 1 for each new order. You can choose to use this a lucky draw number To send a confirmation email with their registration details, you can set up email notifications directly in Neartail.

Hi, I have a problem. I downloaded an Add-On in Google Forms to hide some fields that I want pre-filled. I configured and also edited a survey on the page, but when I tried to test the responses, the system doesn't send the responses to Google Forms. I don't understand if there is no direct connection between Formesign and Google Sheets, but then I don't get what the Add-On is for. My Google Form is for a feedback survey.

Hi Fernando, when you use the Formesign share link to collect responses, it will be recorded in Formesign and Google Forms. You can also sync the responses to google sheets. This is a Google Forms feature. Login to Formesign > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formesign Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > click Launch to open Google Forms > In Google Forms, click Responses to view the submitted responses and sync it to google sheets. Note: You have added a short answer question "Email", marked it as required in google forms and set the appearance as hidden using Formesign. Users won't see this question when they fill the form. So, if the answer for this question is not pre-filled, then the submitted responses will not be recorded in google forms. Google Forms will reject responses with missing answers for required questions. I'd recommend you to make the hidden Email question as optional.

Hi, when finishing my form I receive the message: ⚠ Amount is not configured correctly. Please contact your admin to resolve. What should I do to resolve this problem?

Hi, If you would like to enable payments in your form, you have to make sure that the amount field is configured correctly.

If you have mapped a field for the Net amount option, the answer for that field will be passed to the selected payment option. Otherwise, the answer for the field mapped for the Amount option will be passed to the selected payment option. If the fields are not mapped correctly in the form, it will show the invalid amount configuration error.

Hi - If you use the Formfacade share link to collect responses, the disclaimer and the report abuse option will be displayed and it cannot be removed currently. I'll update you when this option is available. In the meantime, you can embed the form on your website to remove it from the form.

Hello, I am getting two errors on my form, when fully submitted, here are two screenshots: 1. Right at submit: https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI 2. Another error note, which also happens on submit: https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv Thank you!

Submit failed: Not able to update in google forms https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Formfacade and Google Forms. If there are any issues with submitting the form or recording the responses in Google Forms, we show an error message to the user and also send a notification email to the form creator. The submit can fail because there is an issue with the form, internet connectivity issue etc. The notification email will include the error message, draft id, link to the response (abandoned or submitted). If the draft id is prefixed with the *, it indicates that the response has not been submitted. If it is prefixed with a #, it indicates that the response has been submitted. If the error for response shows "Not able to update this response in Google Forms", then this indicates that the submit was successful and the response was recorded in Formfacade, but it was not updated in Google Forms. Google Forms might reject the responses if it fails any response validations (incorrect answers, missing answers for required questions) or if you have enabled any of the features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, collect email address - verified input, send response receipts, response too large etc. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details. Request entity too large error https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv You have added 28 paragraph questions in your form. When the user fills the answer for these paragraph questions along with other required questions in the form, the resulting response exceeds the size limit supported by google forms. That's why you are getting the entity too large error. To fix this, you can add a response validation for these paragraph questions to restrict the max characters or you can enable the option to not record the responses in google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the toggle button for "Don't submit to google forms" and click Save. When this option is enabled, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade.
