Google Forms
Getting Started with Google Forms
The Google Forms modules allow you to
search, create, retrieve, and update forms and move forms to trash
watch, list, and retrieve responses
watch, search, add, update, and delete responses in google sheets
To upgrade to a new version of the Google Forms app, you need to upgrade all modules manually by Replacing Legacy Modules with New Modules.
