What can I automate between Google Forms and Google Sheets?

Is my Google Forms data secure when connected to Google Sheets?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Google Forms or Google Sheets passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your surveys & forms data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Google Forms and Google Sheets?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Forms or Google Sheets. For example, create a workflow where Google Forms events update Google Sheets, and a separate one where Google Sheets changes sync back to Google Forms. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Google Forms and Google Sheets?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Google Forms and Google Sheets, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
