Convert Google Forms to Docs for free
You can convert Google Forms responses into documents for free in a few easy steps. It is simple to create Google Docs which contain all kinds of different question responses including images, dates, numbers and text. After you’ve opened Portant Workflow on your computer, select your Google Form, then connect a Google Docs template and add question response tags to your document. After you’re setup, turn on auto-create, and voila!, you’ve automated Google Forms responses into Google Docs!
We know how painful and monotonous it can be to copy and paste form responses into document templates and then save a copy of them in the correct folder. That’s why we’ve come to the rescue with this article.
Creating your perfect document workflow is easy with Portant. Just connect Google Forms to Google Docs, click a few buttons and Google Docs will be magically generated whenever you receive a response.

Step 2
Choose your document template
When you link your Google Forms, you can search and select your own Google Doc if you have something prepared already or create a new document. Also, you can connect multiple documents or different apps (if you want 😀)
Step 3
Customise the template
Open the document block and add tags into your document. You can edit the document and add additional information within Portant. Also, you can format the tags and the form data will be inserted using the same format (for example: bold, italic, colour etc)
Step 4
Turn on Auto-create 🎉
Now the apps are connected and setup, turn on Auto-create and submit a response to your form to test the workflow. The new Google Docs will be stored in a folder made in your Google Drive, which can be edited on the ‘Outputs’ page.
Easy as that 🙌
