Subscribe to Response Notifications
with Google Forms
Register a Pub/Sub watch so new form responses arrive as events.
- Confirm the form is reachable by this credential before registering a watch against it, so an authorization problem surfaces here rather than as a silently undelivered notification later.
- Create a watch that emits an event to the Pub/Sub topic each time a response is submitted to the form.
- List the watches on the form to confirm the new watch is registered and ACTIVE, and to capture the expiry that a renewal job will need.
What you'll need to have ready
- formId: The id of the form to watch.
- topicName: Fully qualified Pub/Sub topic to publish to, in the form projects/my-project/topics/forms-notifications. The Forms service account must already hold publish rig
