# POST /v1/forms changes: new forms are created unpublished

Calls to POST /v1/forms on Google Forms API stopped working on June 30, 2026.

On June 30, 2026, the behavior of POST /v1/forms changed so that newly created forms are unpublished by default. Because unpublished forms cannot receive responses, workflows expecting immediate submissions fail since that date.

## What to use instead

After creating a form, publish it by calling POST /v1/forms/{formId}:setPublishSettings with publishSettings.publishState.isPublished set to true.
