POST /v1/forms changes: new forms are created unpublished
Stopped workingSubscribe to Google Forms APIShare
On June 30, 2026, the behavior of POST /v1/forms changed so that newly created forms are unpublished by default. Because unpublished forms cannot receive responses, workflows expecting immediate submissions fail since that date.
Calls it hits
POST /v1/forms
What to use instead of these calls
After creating a form, publish it by calling POST /v1/forms/{formId}:setPublishSettings with publishSettings.publishState.isPublished set to true.
In Google Forms API's words
If no action is taken, then new forms created using APIs after June 30, 2026, will be in an unpublished state by default and won't receive responses.
