Google Forms integration

Ring a bell every time your form is submitted — on your phone, or on a TV. One tap with the add-on, or a small Apps Script if you prefer to wire it yourself. No Zapier. No polling. Real-time.

Recommended: the add-on (one tap)

1. Install Mobile Push Notifications for Google Forms from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
2. Open your form and pick Set up notifications from the add-on menu.
3. Click Turn on notifications. That's the whole setup.

The add-on creates a counter named after your form, wires the form-submit trigger itself, and hands you a link into PingBell — already signed in as you. Every submission rings the bell from that moment on. Drop the counter on a board and put it on a screen.

Manual path: Apps Script

Prefer to see the wiring? You need a PingBell source (create one on the Sources page at my.pingbell.io and copy its webhook URL), a Google Form you own, and 2-3 minutes.

Step 1 — Open the Form's Script editor

1. Open your Google Form in edit mode
2. Click the three-dot menu (top-right)
3. Select Script editor. A new tab opens to Apps Script.

Step 2 — Paste the script

Replace the entire contents of Code.gs with the following, then replace the URL constant with your source's webhook URL:

// PingBell — Google Forms integration (manual Apps Script path)
// Paste this into: Your Form > kebab menu > Script editor
// Replace PINGBELL_WEBHOOK_URL with your source's webhook URL
// (copy it from the Sources page at my.pingbell.io).

const PINGBELL_WEBHOOK_URL = 'https://hooks.pingbell.io/log?id=YOUR_SOURCE_ID';

function onFormSubmit(e) {
  const itemResponses = e.response.getItemResponses();
  const payload = {};

  for (const ir of itemResponses) {
    const key = ir.getItem().getTitle().replace(/\s+/g, '_').toLowerCase();
    payload[key] = ir.getResponse();
  }

  UrlFetchApp.fetch(PINGBELL_WEBHOOK_URL, {
    method: 'post',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    payload: JSON.stringify(payload),
    muteHttpExceptions: true,
  });
}

Step 3 — Set up the trigger

1. In the Apps Script editor, click the Triggers icon (the clock, left sidebar)
2. Click Add Trigger
3. Configure:
   • Function: onFormSubmit
   • Event source: From form
   • Event type: On form submit
4. Click Save. Google will ask you to authorize the script — approve the permissions to allow outbound HTTP requests.

Step 4 — Test it

1. Fill out and submit your form
2. The counter ticks and the bell rings within seconds — check the Activity page if you want the receipts
