When triggering Ultradox from a Google Form you can access the submitted data and merge it into your emails, documents etc.
When adding this building block to your flow all variables will become available in the Ultradox Template Editor as well.
Ultradox will only be triggered on form submissions if you have activated the trigger in the Ultradox Trigger add-on of the connected Google Form.
This building block allows you to configure default values for the defined form fields. You can thereby run and test your flow right from the Ultradox editor without filling out the linked Google Form. This will make testing a lot faster and easier.
Make sure to save your data so that the entered values appear as Ultradox variables in the output parameter section of the building block.
Please note that even when removing this building block from your flow, Ultradox will still get triggered from the Google Form if the trigger is active.
Use cases
- Receive user input via Google Forms and use it in any other Google document
- Send customer specific emails (and attached content) based on a forms input

Click on the bold text in the title of the building block to open the configuration dialog.

Preview

Ultradox is now generating a new Google document for the preview as this would generate new files on your Google Drive for each generated preview.

The preview is perfectly suited for testing your template without wasting your license during development.
