FAQ
Q) Will the test connection be successful while testing Google forms if there is no response submitted?
A) Yes, it will be successful, because testing is just to check whether data can be fetched from the form. It will create test data of it’s own for that purpose.
Q) What is ‘Conditions’ tab beside ‘Action’ tab while adding actions? How to use it?
A) ‘Conditions’ is used to define parameters based on which you can skip the particular action you are using. You can watch the below gif to get some basic idea about how it works.
