How do I fetch a specific Google Forms response?

Short answer: You can get form response in Google Forms by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Forms Get Form Response action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
