Troubleshoot Google Forms
How do I find the correct Google Sheet or tab for my form responses?
After completing the integration, your Google Sheets document may include tabs for each connected form. Alternatively, each row may include a column showing the form name or ID. To locate your responses, search for the sheet, tab, or column that matches the name or details of your Dotdigital form.
Why are new responses not appearing instantly?
Responses sync to Google Sheets on an hourly basis. If you don't see your form data right away, please allow up to one hour for the latest responses to appear.
Can I sync responses from multiple forms in my account?
Yes, once set up, all published forms in your Dotdigital account will sync to your connected Google Sheet. You can use Google Sheets' filtering and search features to view data from specific forms.
How do I filter responses for a specific form in Google Sheets?
To filter responses for a particular form, use the filter options available in Google Sheets. Look for the column containing the form name or ID, then apply your filters to view or analyze responses from a specific form.
