How to Create Tasks (Actions) for Workflow Automation
Now that all the tasks have been created, you need to define the event that should trigger the workflow. A workflow can be triggered in two ways:
- Run on Form Submit - Automatically run the workflow when a new form is submitted
- Run Every Hour - Automatically run every hour and merge all unprocessed rows in Google Sheet
You may also include a time delay to postpone the workflow execution and run it later. For instance, you may add a delay of 1 day to run the workflow on the next day after the form is submitted.
In the Automatic Triggers
section, turn on the option that says Run on Form Submit
. Click the Save button to activate your workflow.
Go to your Google Form, submit a test form entry and it should trigger the workflow immediately. You can check the status of the workflow in Google Sheet that is linked to your Google Form.
