Integrate Amazon SQS with Google Forms

Queueing systems are needed in many areas of life such as manufacturing, healthcare, transportation and so on. Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS. is a cloud-based service that enables developers to easily set up, operate, and scale message queues with reliable delivery.

Google Forms is an online survey tool that enables users to create surveys, collect responses, and analyze results with charts and graphs. Google Forms can be accessed through the Google Drive at docs.google.com/forms/.

Amazon SQS is a fast, reliable, scalable, fully managed message queuing service. It connects different applications and services by enabling them to send messages to one another. Amazon SQS provides a simple web service interface that allows you to send messages between distributed application components or microservices. Its features include:

And here is what we need to do to integrate Amazon SQS and Google Forms:

Create a form in Google Forms that sends answers to an Amazon SQS queue. This kind of integration is called form-to-queue.With form-to-queue integration, you can build applications that send data to their target destinations without the need for human input or intervention. For example, you can build an application that automatically gathers data from Google Forms submissions and sends it to an Amazon SQS queue for further processing. Another example is building an application that processes data from an Amazon SQS queue and sends the results back to Google Forms for display to the survey’s creator.

To build form-to-queue integration, you first create a queue in Amazon SQS. Then, you create a form in Google Forms that sends answers to messages on the queue. In this way, if a user submits an answer from the Google Form, the answer is delivered to Amazon SQS as a message, which is then processed and stored as a record in your database. If a user deletes his Google Form or closes the browser window during a form submission, you can set up Amazon SQS to send the message to your database as an exception. In such case, you could set up your database to send an e-mail to the user letting him know he has not successfully submitted the form. You can also configure Amazon SQS to notify your application of changes to the queue by sending notification requests to a notification endpoint.
