Open Google Forms™ in edit mode and launch FormGuard from Extensions.
Choose one limit type: total responses, choice quota, close message, or owner notification.
Run a test submission and check the public form before sharing it.
Reviewer notes
Google Forms™ access is used to read and update forms you configure. Scheduled tasks need the full Forms permission to reopen a configured form by ID when no editor is active.
Mail access is used only when owner notifications are enabled.
Free use does not require a separate account or payment. Updated Pro access uses an account-bound license key and an HTTPS license check; form questions and responses are not included in that request. See the privacy policy.
The updated paid build is in staged testing and Google review preparation. A saved Marketplace draft or a test payment does not mean the paid build is publicly available. Install and test the available Free workflow first; confirm access to the paid build with support before buying.
Personal Pro is $29 paid once for 12 months of access, without automatic renewal. Free supports up to three configured forms and one quota question per form. Pro adds more configured forms, multiple quota questions and scheduled close/reopen. Existing early-supporter access is preserved. Google platform quotas still apply. See pricing and plan details.
After a successful purchase, look for the FormSuite license email sent to your checkout email address. Check spam if it is missing; keep the Creem order receipt.
Open a Google Form using the same Google account email as the purchase. Choose Add-ons > FormGuard > Open settings.
Paste the license key from the email into the license field and activate it. Confirm that the sidebar shows Pro and the expected expiry date.
For scheduled close/reopen, follow the Google permissions link if prompted, return to the sidebar, and save again. Test a copied form and confirm the respondent-visible result.
If activation does not work
An account mismatch requires the purchase email and signed-in Google account to match. A refunded, expired or invalid key cannot activate Pro. If the licensing service is temporarily unavailable, retry later; a new activation requires an online check. Do not buy again merely to troubleshoot a missing email.
Contact support with the order reference, error text and the step that failed. Do not include your full license key, password, payment details or private form responses in screenshots or public posts. Full refunds revoke access for that order; already-saved paid jobs check access again before running. Partial refunds are reviewed separately.
FAQ
Common questions
What if the add-on cannot find a form or Sheet I can open?
First confirm that the add-on is running as the account that owns or can edit the selected files. Google Apps Script add-ons do not support signing in with multiple Google accounts at the same time. Use a separate browser profile signed in only to the intended account, then reopen the form and add-on. If access still fails, check the selected file and its sharing permissions. Google account troubleshooting.
Does it replace Google Forms™?
No. It adds guardrails on top of your existing Google Forms™ workflow.
What should I test first?
Use a copy of the form, submit once, and confirm the close or limit behavior.
Where do I get help?
Use the FormGuard support form or email link above, and include the form use case plus what limit failed.
What should I avoid promising?
FormGuard is a practical control layer for Google Forms™. It is not a strict reservation backend, an automatic waitlist promotion system, or a quantity-aware inventory engine.
