Today, we’ll take a closer look at “how to deal with unwanted duplicates” that crop up in your marketing strategies. Where you might have more than one form that needs to be submitted to different mailing lists, it’s better for everyone to avoid touching their own forms much–using bots is much easier and faster!
What is a Duplicate Form?
A duplicate form is a form that has been submitted by more than one person. Duplicate forms can cause confusion and create a bottleneck in the process of collecting data from participants. There are several ways to fix a duplicate form.
If you are the creator of the form, there are a few things you can do to help prevent duplicates from being submitted. First, check to make sure your form is taking input correctly. Make sure all fields have valid titles and labels, and that all required input is being entered into the fields. If something appears incorrect on your end, be sure to update it so that forms are correctly processed by Google Forms. Secondly, make sure your submission process is properly designed. Make it easy for participants to enter data into your form, and keep track of submissions so you can determine if any duplicate submissions have occurred. Finally, consider implementing a verification process for participants. This could include requiring an email address or other identifier before submitting data, or checking participant profiles for information that appears to be duplicated. If you find that duplicate submissions have occurred, take appropriate steps to correct them and prevent future occurrences.

Human vs. Machine Processing
Google Forms can be a great tool for collecting data from your users, but it can be prone to duplicate entries. By following these simple steps, you can stop the forms from filling up with duplicate data and keep your data organized and accurate.
When to Use a Duplicate Form
There are many times where you may need to create a duplicate form in order to gather data from your users. Here are some guidelines to help determine when it is most appropriate to use a duplicate form:
-If the data you are gathering is specific to just one user, then it is best to use a duplicate form. This will ensure that all of the data entered is unique for that user.
-If you are unsure of how users will respond to filling out multiple forms, then using a duplicate form may be the better option. This way, you can ensure that all of the data is collected and that there are no errors made during data entry.
-If you anticipate that mistakes will be made, then using a duplicate form will minimize the chances that these mistakes will have an impact on the overall data collection process.

-Provide as much detail as possible in your email so that the person who responds can get started as quickly as possible.
An Example of a Successful Duplicate Removal using Google Forms
Google Forms are a great way to gather data from your audience, but if you have duplicate submissions, they can be a nuisance. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to fix Google Forms duplicates using the form’s settings and dataflow.
First, you’ll need to identify which forms are causing the duplication. To do this, open each form in question and look for any fields that are duplicated. There may be a few fields that are duplicated across forms, but more likely there will be one or two fields that are repeated more than once.
Next, you’ll need to determine where the data is being submitted from. If the data is coming from a Google Form submission form, then you’ll need to configure data flow to remove duplicates. To do this, go to Settings > Data Flow and select the checkbox next to “Duplicate submissions.” This will instruct Google Forms to ignore any duplicate submissions and only include submissions that match the field values in the current form.
If the data is coming from elsewhere in your website or application, then you’ll need to set up a data flow script in order to automatically remove duplicates. To do this, create a new importer
