POST /v1/forms changes: new forms are created unpublished
Stopped working
Starting June 30, 2026, requests to POST /v1/forms will create new forms in an unpublished state by default. Because these forms will be unpublished, calls expecting them to collect submissions will fail since the forms will not receive responses. The change modifies the default behavior of the form creation endpoint.
What to use instead of these calls
After creating a form, publish it by calling POST /v1/forms/{formId}:setPublishSettings with publishSettings.publishState.isPublished set to true.
Calls it hits
POST /v1/forms
If no action is taken, then new forms created using APIs after June 30, 2026, will be in an unpublished state by default and won't receive responses.
