Add-ons for Google Forms

★★★★☆ 4.4/5

To help those who manage multiple Google Forms, the formLimiter add-on makes it easy to stop allowing responses. While I think it's something that should be already implemented into Google Workspace, this add-on automatically sets Google Forms to stop accepting responses after a specific condition is met. This could be a maximum number of responses, a specific date and time, or when a spreadsheet’s cell contains a specific value (which is perfect for online contests).

★★★★☆ 4.6/5

Google Forms is used for a variety of data gathering tasks that mimic the uses of popular data management tools like QuickBooks or SurveyMonkey. The Form Publisher add-on lets you turn that data submission into more professional and easy to read documents. With Google Forms, documents are generated with each form submission. In Google Sheets, you can mass generate documents in bulk! Streamline business processes, so you spend more time on other tasks! Generate and send invoices, quotes, certificates, or any other document you can dream of. Plus, you can export to a PDF or to Microsoft Office products. There are a multitude of other features, so we highly recommend this add-on!

★★★★☆ 4.4/5

If your profession requires you to proctor exams or skill assessments, you need this add-on. Quilgo turns your Google Form into a proper test by embedding a timer, allowing start and submission time tracking, and even make video snapshots of respondents. It allows for integration with other apps as well as exporting data for analysis.

Form Ranger allows you to autopopulate the choices in list, multiple choice, checkbox or grid question options from columns of data in any Google Sheet or Doctopus roster. It’s great for ensuring that form answers match values in an already existing database. It can be used for inventory items, expected attendees, or even workshop titles!

★★★★☆ 4.2/5

AutoProctor is an add-on that does more than you’d think. Not only does it add a countdown timer at the top of a form, but it also checks for cheating. It’s fully customizable so that proctors can maintain the integrity of a test without having to physically be near. Once the test duration time has ended, users will no longer be able to access the form. AutoProctor checks the user’s environment and actions for cheating, such as, detecting more than one face or opening up a different tab. It tracks each trigger and documents it so that it can be manually reviewed later. Each user is also assigned a Trust Score based on how many alerts they’ve received!

★★★★☆ 4.7/5

This is a great add-on to use within an organization or with consulting work. Form Approvals allows for a form to send its information or data to specified users based on specific conditions. It also has the ability to set up automatic reminders and attach documents to the notifications. It’s perfect for those who need to gather information and send it through a pipeline!

★★★★☆ 4.5/5

Another great add-on for businesses, Signature allows for users to sign a form. Instead of relying solely on an electronic signature, businesses or signees can be assured of authenticity by using a stylus or mouse to give a handwritten signature to any agreement. While you only get three free signatures a month, you can bulk buy 300 signatures for as low as $15/month!

★★★★☆ 4.5/5

For organizations that use multiple forms with similar data, Dynamic Fields is a great addition to Google Forms.
