  1. We run events where people get to choose whether they are added to the event Google Group or not. Is there a way to set a rule so that the people who indicate that they want to be added get added, and the people who don’t want to be added don’t get added?

    1. Hello! I am afraid that adding rules to the Google Groups integration is not possible. You can use two forms and with the help of form rules, redirect users to the form with the Google Group integration.

  2. I keep getting an error message when using this app. Is there a security setting that has to be changed on the google group for this to work?

    1. Hello Sarah!

      Unfortunately, our Google Groups application doesn’t feature an opt-in checkbox. However, you could create a separate contact form and integrate it with Google Groups. Add a checkbox to your existing form and set up a form rule that will redirect your visitors to the contact form if the checkbox has been checked. This way, if a visitor wishes to be added to your group, he/she will tick the checkbox to be redirected upon submission to the contact form. Once the visitor submits the contact form, his/her data will be sent to your group. Read more on our documentation about Form Rules. Has this been helpful?

      Also, have a look on how to pass user input from one form to another if interested. Do you use Google Calendar? Wouldn’t you try our Google Calendar integration for events?
