Take Control of Google Forms - Control Accepting Responses #gafe #gsuite #googleforms

Today's blog post is about a great Google Forms add on called Control Accepting Responses that allows you to turn a form on/off based on a time frame or the number of responses to the form. For example, I had a book to give away the other day and so I created a form with the simple question, "Do I want the book?" with the only response being "Yes".

The first person to respond with "Yes" got the book and then the form didn't accept any responses after that. Another example might be if you have an event and you want only the first 15 people who sign up to be eligible to come or get information. You could set up the form to stop after those 15 people reply.

This add on is similar to others I've used in the past, like Choice Eliminator, but this one is simple and works. You could also use this to start accepting responses to a form at a certain date/time. Or potentially use it for a timed test, but the developer says it's not 100% precise with the timing.
