Is this possible /Google to Office
Our current set up is as follows :
1. Customers fill out Google Forms ... which creates automatically a
2. Google Sheets spreadsheet... which using a add on (Ultradox, Autocrat) automatically generates 2 different
3. Google docs
Is this possible with Office 365?
Automate docs on trigger when a customer responds?
I am so tried of glitches with the add ons with Google and NO customer service even with paid accounts.
We have a business to run and need reliable functions.
If this is possible I will try the free trial and if I can set up a sample like we currently have it, then I can show my boss.
Would appreciate honest opinions.
Thanks,
Lalla

Along with all the options everyone provided, I'd suggest one more alternative. You can try setting up an automated workflow between Google Forms, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Office 365 using no-code integration platforms. There are several platforms that offer such integrations. I am using Automate.io to set up these workflows. So when a customer responds to your Google Forms, you can automatically get it https://automate.io/integration/google-sheets/google-forms. The same modifications will be updated on https://automate.io/integration/google-sheets/google-docs and https://automate.io/integration/google-sheets/office-365 instantly because in tools like Automate.io you can integrate more than two apps to create a fully functional automation sequence.
Hope I have helped.There's a Forms in Office 365 which is now in public preview that you can use for your customers. For more details, you may visit this site: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-a-form-with-Microsoft-Forms-4ffb64cc-7d5d-402f-b82e-b1d49418fd9d
Thank you again! Just briefly going over it, its very simular to Google Form.
My big question is, as I see you can have the responses go to spreadsheet just like with Google, but is there something to trigger documents to automatically be generated from templates as the responses come in?
- For the auto-generated responses, you can see it under Responses tab in Forms and it will help you to visual feedback in real-time. For the automatic creation of documents from templates, I haven't tried it and read similar feature like that with Forms but the closest thing is the integration on Excel spreadsheet.
- Thank you so much for the link! I will go there now.
