How It Works

Each time a calendar event opens the form, the response counter starts at zero. When the count reaches your limit, the form closes automatically — even if the calendar event hasn't ended yet.

The counter resets for each new event window:

Event 1 (9:00–10:00)     Event 2 (14:00–15:00)
  Response 1 ✓              Response 1 ✓
  Response 2 ✓              Response 2 ✓
  Response 3 → limit!       Response 3 → limit!
  (form closes)             (form closes)

Merged Windows

When events are less than 1 hour apart and get merged into one window, they share the same response limit. The counter does not reset between merged events.

Merged events share the same response limit.

To have separate limits per event, space events at least 1 hour apart.

No Limit

If no response limit is set, the form stays open for the entire event duration regardless of how many responses are received.
