Import Google Forms

Tabs

Bring your existing Google Forms into PlatoForms without rebuilding from scratch. Your questions, sections, and field types transfer automatically — then extend with PDF generation, e-signatures, approval workflows, and payments.

Prerequisites

  • A Google account with access to the form you want to import
  • The form’s edit URL (ends in /edit)
Note

PlatoForms requests read-only access to your Google Forms. Your original form is never modified.

Import your Google Form

  1. Go to the Google Forms Import page.

  2. Click Connect Google Account and authorize PlatoForms in the OAuth popup.

  3. Open your Google Form in the editor and copy the URL from the address bar — it must end in /edit.

    Warning

    Use the edit URL ending in /edit, not the /viewform or /preview URL. Using the wrong URL is the most common reason imports fail.

  4. Paste the URL into the import field and click Import Form.

  5. Your form opens in the PlatoForms editor with:

    • Questions mapped to form fields
    • Sections converted to pages
    • Question types preserved

Customize anything, then publish when ready.
