Form Workflow Plus needs a Google Form linked to the spreadsheet to run. When the add-on is started, it checks for a linked Form. If none is found, it would ask you to: 1) select from a list of templates; or 2) link an existing one.
Option 1: Select a Google Form starter template
You can choose from the following:
- Leave Request Form
- Purchase Request Form
- Budget Request Form
- Room Booking Form
Click on "CREATE SELECTED FORM" after making a selection. You can edit the form later by changing/adding questions depending on your use case.
Option 2: Link an existing Form
Get the Edit Form URL
If you have an existing Google Form, the easiest way to use Form Workflow Plus is to run the add-on on the Google Sheet collecting form responses.
