Automate Google Form Submissions to Short URLs + QR Codes in Google Sheets

Introduction

Turn every Google Form response into a ready-to-share short link with a scannable QR code—saved neatly in your sheet for instant access. ✅

Trigger Event

A new response is submitted to your Google Form.

Actions

• The submitted long URL and campaign name are captured from the form response.
• A clean, readable custom slug is created from the campaign name to keep links on-brand.
• A short link is generated and a QR code is created for that link.
• The workflow checks for slug conflicts. If a conflict exists, it safely stops to avoid bad data; otherwise, it proceeds.
• The matching row in your connected Google Sheet is found using the form’s original URL value.
• That same row is updated with:
  • Short URL
  • QR download link

Benefits

• ✔️ Instant short links and QR codes—no manual steps

• ✔️ Cleaner, on-brand URLs with custom slugs

• ✔️ Data saved back to the exact sheet row—no copy-paste errors

• ✔️ Faster sharing across campaigns, print, and social
