Form Scheduler — Open & Close for Forms

Auto open & close your form on a schedule — start/stop accepting responses

form scheduleropen closescheduleaccepting responsesdeadlineautomation
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.
