Google Forms Approval Workflow

Google Forms Approval Workflow

With the right workflow tools, you can simplify your processes and run them much faster. Google Form Workflow is a powerful tool for automating your approval processes with simple, easy-to-use form builder add-ons. Approval workflows allow you to link your forms with spreadsheets, trigger notifications, and route submissions to a designated approver.

Enhancing Collaboration: Leveraging Google Forms for Approval Workflows

The first step in creating a Google forms approval workflow is to create a form with questions that will collect the data you need for your process. Then, add an approver field to your form that will automatically send a notification email to the correct recipient whenever someone submits a form response. This allows you to set up an approval workflow that will notify approvers of new submissions so that they can approve or deny them accordingly.

Once you’ve added the approver field to your form, you can easily set up a workflow that will automatically send the approved or denied status of a submission to the responder and the manager with an automated email template. This makes it incredibly easy for managers to review and approve time off requests, purchase requisitions, expense reimbursement requests, and more.

While Google Forms offers some basic approval automation features, more advanced workflows require an additional workflow automation tool such as Zapier. These tools act as a connector that moves data and instructions between your forms, spreadsheets, and the other tools and apps you use for business. Using a Zapier integration, you can also set up conditional logic that will trigger automated thank-you emails for respondents and approval requests to managers based on the response to your forms.
