Quick reference

Add-ons

Add-ons are programs that are not built by Google, but which can be added to Google Apps to perform many jobs that Google Apps can’t do on their own.

When to use

When you want to do something that Google Apps can’t do by default.

  • Click the “+” button
  • Read the information the app wants access to

  • 00:05 Just like we've seen with other applications within Google Drive,
  • 00:09 we can add additional functionality, additional features by using add-ons.
  • 00:14 In order to find and add additional add-ons,
  • 00:18 we wanna select the three dots here and then select Add-ons.
  • 00:23 This will bring up the Add-ons menu for Google Forms.
  • 00:27 And as we've seen before, we can browse through the different options,
  • 00:30 the different third-party apps which are available to us.
  • 00:34 We can read a description.
  • 00:36 We can take a look at the reviews and we can select the free button or
  • 00:40 perhaps there may be a charge for you to install that particular add-on.
  • 00:45 I've already gone ahead and installed an add-on here and once you have at least
  • 00:49 one add-on, you will see this puzzle piece at the top of your menu.
  • 00:53 I'm gonna select this and I'm gonna select my Add-on formLimiter.
  • 00:59 In this case, I can choose to set a limit and
  • 01:02 I can start to work with this third party app.
  • 01:05 This particular add-on will allow me to limit how many entries I receive.
  • 01:11 I can either set an end date and time or
  • 01:14 I can set a maximum number of form responses.
  • 01:17 I'm gonna try the second one here, so I'm gonna stop accepting responses after,
  • 01:22 let's say after 100 responses.
  • 01:25 And then I can customize my messaging down here below if I like.
  • 01:29 I'm gonna select save and enable.
  • 01:33 And now, I will no longer receive more entries or
  • 01:38 more responses once I have hit that goal.
  • 01:41 So, you can browse and take a look at the different add-ons here within Google forms
  • 01:46 to see if there are special features or
  • 01:48 perhaps, added functionality that you would like to add to your forms.
