Form Scheduler — Open & Close for Forms
Auto open & close your form on a schedule — start/stop accepting responses

Open and close your Google Form automatically at the date-times you set — no more staying up to flip the "Accepting responses" switch by hand. WHAT IT DOES • Scheduled open: pick an "open at" date-time and the form starts accepting responses automatically (e.g. registration opens 9:00 on launch day). • Scheduled close: pick a "close at" date-time and the form stops accepting responses automatically (e.g. a deadline closes at 23:59, even overnight). • Use either or both: schedule just an open, just a close, or a full open/close window — leave a field blank to skip that side. • Manual control: one-click "Open now" and "Close now" buttons toggle the form immediately. • Live status: the card shows whether the form is currently accepting responses and what's scheduled. WHY IT BEATS THE MANUAL SWITCH Google Forms only has a manual toggle — there's no built-in scheduling. Form Scheduler automates both ends with clock-based triggers so your form opens and closes itself at the exact times you set, without anyone online. Note: save the schedule from the form you want toggled — that access grant is what lets the scheduled run reopen it. Spent one-time triggers are cleaned up automatically and the card always reflects reality.
