I sent an email back on December 4th with no response. I set up payment arrangements for the year but the full amount was taken out of my account paid for the full year which I didn’t choose. Also the payment section is not showing on my form. It was showing on December 4th but now it’s gone after I updated the form. How do I get a refund and only be charged monthly and how do I find the payment area for people to pay?
I want to be able to see the filled out form report in my gmail and not the google form response email..

I click on signature workflow and there is only the help option
Hi Dale, If you open your form in Google Forms, click on the addon icon and select Formesign (or any addon) immediately, sometimes only the Help option is displayed in the addon menu. This is a Google Workspace issue. Click on the addon icon a few mins after opening your Google Form (once the form is loaded); the addon menu options will be displayed. If the menu options are still not displayed, it might be because of the app permissions settings for your google workspace account. Please write to your admin to enable access. https://support.google.com/a/answer/6089179

In google forms, a folder is generated to accomodate all the submitted files from a specific form. I cannot find this folder in Formfacade free trial.

Hello, I am getting two errors on my form, when fully submitted, here are two screenshots: 1. Right at submit: https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI 2. Another error note, which also happens on submit: https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv Thank you!
Submit failed: Not able to update in google forms https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Formfacade and Google Forms. If there are any issues with submitting the form or recording the responses in Google Forms, we show an error message to the user and also send a notification email to the form creator. The submit can fail because there is an issue with the form, internet connectivity issue etc. The notification email will include the error message, draft id, link to the response (abandoned or submitted). If the draft id is prefixed with the *, it indicates that the response has not been submitted. If it is prefixed with a #, it indicates that the response has been submitted. If the error for response shows "Not able to update this response in Google Forms", then this indicates that the submit was successful and the response was recorded in Formfacade, but it was not updated in Google Forms. Google Forms might reject the responses if it fails any response validations (incorrect answers, missing answers for required questions) or if you have enabled any of the features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, collect email address - verified input, send response receipts, response too large etc. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details. Request entity too large error https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv You have added 28 paragraph questions in your form. When the user fills the answer for these paragraph questions along with other required questions in the form, the resulting response exceeds the size limit supported by google forms. That's why you are getting the entity too large error. To fix this, you can add a response validation for these paragraph questions to restrict the max characters or you can enable the option to not record the responses in google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the toggle button for "Don't submit to google forms" and click Save. When this option is enabled, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade.
