How to connect two Google Forms: Step-by-Step guide

In certain workflows, users start with one Google Form and are required to fill another—such as completing a registration form before a feedback or payment form. Chaining or connecting Google Forms creates a seamless multi-step experience.

Depending on your use case, here are four ways to connect two Google Forms 

  1. The Simplest Approach: Add the link in the confirmation message

  2. The Native Solution: Use sections instead of a second form

  3. Redirect and Customize: Use an Add-on for a seamless handoff

  4. Advanced: Prefill the second form with submitted data of first form

1. The Simplest Approach: Add the link in the confirmation message

The simplest way to connect forms is to paste the second form’s URL directly into the confirmation message of the first form. After submission, users see the text and can click the link to continue to the next form.


How it works: Users click a link displayed immediately after they hit "Submit" on the first form.


Cons: Limited customization—you can’t give the link a proper name or style it, which can look unprofessional.

2. The Native Solution: Use sections instead of a second form

Before creating another form, see if you can manage it all within one. Google Forms offers two built-in ways to control flow between sections:


  • Go to section based on answer: Route users to specific sections depending on their responses.

  • Set section flow: At the bottom of each section, use the dropdown (“Continue to next section”) to direct users to another section or submit the form after that section.


In some cases, this means you don’t actually need a second Google Form


Cons: Managing too many sections can become complicated as the form expands.

3. Redirect and customize: Use an Add-on for a seamless handoff

Google Forms does not natively support automatic redirection or advanced thank-you page customization. A third-party add-on, like Formfacade, fixes this instantly.


With the Formfacade add-on, you can:

  • Automatically redirect users to another Google Form URL (or any other webpage) after submission.

  • Add a styled, branded link on the thank-you page. You can customize text, colors, and layout to match your brand, making the transition between forms seamless and professional.

4. Advanced: Prefill the second form with submitted data of first form

Imagine your first and second forms both collect the same details — Name, Email, Phone Number, and Address. Asking users to fill them out again feels unnecessary and slows things down. That’s where smart form linking helps.


Use LINKFORM({PASTE-SECOND-FORMFACADE-LINK}) to connect your second form and automatically prefill it with data from the first form.


There are two ways to prefill:

  1. Configure the mapping in both forms for common fields like Name, Email, Phone Number, Address, and Signature so that they get automatically prefilled.

  2. For other fields, simply keep the same field names in both forms — they will be automatically prefilled in the second form.


This creates a seamless, polished multi-form experience without forcing users to re-enter details.
