Returns all submitted responses to the form.
class FormApp method .getResponses()
FormApp is the Apps Script service.
.getResponses() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Pull every submission into a report or cleanup job.
- Process new answers on a schedule instead of on each submit.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on getResponses. Write FormApp.getResponses(), not FormApp.getResponses or getResponses by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like FormApp.getResponses().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write FormApp.getResponses(), not FormApp .getResponses(), FormApp.getResponses (), or FormApp . getResponses().
- Wrong capitalization. Use FormApp and getResponses, not formapp or getresponses.
