Installation
Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation. You can install from the nodes panel (verified packages), via GUI using the npm package name, or manually from the command line on self-hosted instances.
Operations
Form
Create Form — POST /v1/forms (creates an empty form with a title).
Get Form — GET /v1/forms/{formId}.
Batch Update — POST /v1/forms/{formId}:batchUpdate (add/move/update items, turn on quiz settings, etc.).
Set Publish Settings — POST /v1/forms/{formId}:setPublishSettings (publish/unpublish; legacy forms don’t support this).
Response
List Responses — GET /v1/forms/{formId}/responses (supports filters timestamp > N and timestamp >= N for incremental pulls).
Get Response — GET /v1/forms/{formId}/responses/{responseId}.
Credentials
Prerequisites
Google Cloud project.
Enable Google Forms API (and Pub/Sub only if you plan to use Watches later).
Set up OAuth
In Google Cloud, create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Application type: Web application).
In n8n, create a Google OAuth2 credential. Copy the redirect URI shown by n8n into your OAuth client’s Authorized redirect URIs.
Scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.body (create/edit via batchUpdate)
Google for Developers
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.responses.readonly (read responses)
Google for Developers
Tip: If you’re self-hosting and see redirect_uri_mismatch, ensure the exact n8n callback URL is whitelisted in Google Cloud.
Compatibility
n8n: Tested on n8n v1.94.0 and newer. (Community nodes are installable via GUI on modern 1.x builds; Cloud supports verified community nodes from 1.94.0.)
Node.js (for building locally): ≥ 18.17.0.
Usage
Install the package via n8n’s Community Nodes UI (GUI install) and restart if prompted.
