There’s a really basic thing missing from Google Forms. What’s missing ? A way of stamping responses with some sort of code to be able to link them back to some user or some other fixed data not in the form. There are many questions on StackOverflow on this topic and very few solutions.

Let’s look at a workaround these missing Forms features by using Firebase to track a journey through Google Forms.

This article will touch on the beauty of Firebase rules, installed triggers and the Apps Script FormsApp service, and how to easily read and write to Firebase from Apps Script. https://ramblings.mcpher.com/going-serverleass-witha-firebase/fb-gas-forms/
