Google sheet form response problems
we're having problems with the form responses going to our google spreadsheet
Hi Margo, There is an issue with Google Forms integration due to a recent update in Google Forms. We have implemented a fix. By default, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade. You can view them in the Formfacade Responses or the Formfacade Reports page. If required, you can enable the option to submit it to google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the 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 Submit to google forms option and click Save.

We have been using the Formfacade Premium Plan since March 2022 for eight Google Forms. Since yesterday, Google Forms using Formfacade have stopped being submitted. When we started subscribing the Premium Plan, I believe the maximum number of response was 10,000, but when I checked now, the “Response Per Month” limit is set to 100. Additionally, the “Form Per Month” limit is now 5. Just in case, I closed 4 out of the 8 forms we are using, but submissions are still not working. Could you please advise on what the issue might be?
I can't add a Signature Area in the form
The site has been flagged phishing
I have never seen this problem happen in the past. I have a form that suddenly is not recording people's responses. The form name is "2025 State Championship". It already accepted 40+ responses over the past few weeks, but suddenly today, it doesn't record any responses. I even ran a test myself and never saw the results. I created a new form and couldn't get the responses from that form either. If I bypass FormFacade and just use the form directly in Google Forms, I see the response. I didn't change anything on my side, the form just suddenly stopped working.
Dear Formfacade Support, I am experiencing an issue where new responses submitted through my Formfacade form are not appearing in my linked Google Sheets document. Form URLS: Pimpama DT - End of Day Cash Summary: https://near.tl/sm/FMYNPxNegS South Brisbane - End of Day: https://formfaca.de/sm/W_1Odtlb5 Brisbane City East - End of Day: https://formfaca.de/sm/d3PWALhEf Sunnybank Hills - End of Day: https://formfaca.de/sm/jC9tWJOFi Southport - End of Day: https://formfaca.de/sm/TN5RnzHty Surfers Paradise - End of Day: https://formfaca.de/sm/pIMZJEqqS Google Sheet URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YVbGfI7_HFyV8tu4_l3tSVcycy-Myjj8ZyfJ8Tr_PZE/edit?gid=1663700953#gid=1663700953 Issue: While older responses appear in my sheet, new submissions do not sync. I have tried refreshing, re-linking the form, and checking settings, but the issue persists. Could you please assist me in resolving this? Thank you in advance for your support!
None of the entries are saving to Google Sheets spreadsheet since yesterday for all forms used with Formfacade
Hi FormFacade Support, We’re experiencing a critical issue where form submissions are not appearing in the linked spreadsheets. This issue is affecting all of our forms, not just a single one, so it does not seem to be an isolated problem related to a specific form setup. We've checked our settings, permissions, and integrations, but the issue persists. Could you please investigate and provide guidance on resolving this? This is impacting our workflow, so we’d appreciate a prompt resolution. Looking forward to your assistance. Best, Rex Seem Diego Delivery

I am planning to buy premium plan. Can I cancel anytime? Even if I pay for one year upfront?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time, even if you pay for one year upfront. However, please note that annual subscriptions are non-refundable, so you won't receive a refund for the remaining months after cancellation. You will still have access to the features until the end of your subscription period.

Hi David, You have subscribed to the Customize UI Basic plan. This plan is only suitable for occasional light use cases that require collecting files. You get a 10mb max size per file and only the form owner can access the files one at a time after they login with their google account. If your primary requirement is to collect files, you can upgrade to the file upload plan 10gb, 100gb or 1tb or the Formfacade Enhance plan. Once you subscribe to the file upload plan, you can enable unlisted links to automate access using Apps script, Zapier etc. You can also increase the max file size to up to 1gb per file (depends on the plan), the number of files per file upload question, restrict file types, enable unlisted links to allow anyone to access the files, add collaborators to provide access to specific users and use the Formfacade - File upload addon to sync the uploaded files to your google drive.

I would like full, transparent information on the pricing. I recently linked a Google Form to Formesign in order to collect e-signatures. Today I see a notification that says the paid features will expire in 6 days. May I double check if your product has any free features that do not have an expiration date on them? Features that I'm concerned about are: 1. Duration of access and storage of collected e-signatures 2. Business name 3. Duration of form for collecting e-signatures 4. Number of collaborators
Formesign is a paid product with a 7 day free trial. You get the first 20 responses free during this trial period.

Duration of access and storage of collected e-signatures You need an active subscription to access Formesign and use your form to collect responses. Once your subscription is cancelled, you will not be to able to view the submitted responses or the signed documents in Formesign. You should download the signed documents or sync it to your drive. Business name You can customize the header, footer, logo, theme. These settings are for your account and it will applied to all the forms created using your account. - Header text (Business name) can be customised by free and paid users. - Header logo (applicable only for Minimal theme) can be customised by free and paid users. - Footer text can be customized by free and paid users. - Footer logo can be customised only by paid users. - Disclaimer and report abuse will always be displayed in the share link.

i'm doing a signature form... all is good, though i want to put the company header etc onto the PDF output - can i do that?
Hi Chris, You can use Formesign to collect signatures in your form. When the user signs the form and submits it, Formesign will automatically generate a signed document with signature based on your form. If you would like to customize the signed document, then you will have to use the Formesign - Fillable PDF addon. You can create a custom template using google docs. When the user fills the form and clicks on submit, Formesign will generate a document based on this template and show it as a consent screen. Users can review and click on Agree to submit their response.

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.
