for (var i = 0; i < formResponses.length; i++) {

responsePayload[form.response.getItemResponses()[i].getItem().getTitle()] = form.response.getItemResponses()[i].getResponse();

}

console.log(responsePayload);

var url = "WEBHOOK URL";

var options = {

"method": "post",

"headers": {},

"payload": responsePayload

};

var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);

Now come to the Zoho Flow screen, click on the Zoho Flow that you integrated for scoring, and switch on the flow by using the toggle button at the top right corner of the screen. Then go to the Summary screen and click on the Test button under Connections to test the flow. If it is working fine then it will show you Your connection is fine.
