Overview of Form Scheduler features for Google Forms

Form Scheduler uses Google Calendar to control when your Google Forms accept responses.

Calendar Integration

Connect a Google Calendar to your form. Any event on that calendar opens the form — when the event ends, the form closes.

  • Connect an existing calendar or create a new one
  • Recurring events work automatically
  • Edit your schedule from any device via Google Calendar

Response Limits

Limit how many responses your form accepts per calendar event window.

  • Set a maximum response count per event
  • Form closes automatically when the limit is reached
  • Counter resets for each new event window

Events less than 1 hour apart are combined into one window.
