Integrating WPForms with Google Sheets

WPForms provides a seamless integration with Google Sheets, offering multiple methods to connect your forms to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This integration allows for efficient management and analysis of form data, making it an essential tool for users looking to enhance their data handling capabilities.

Using the Google Sheets Addon

To integrate WPForms with Google Sheets, a WPForms Pro license is required. Installation of the WPForms plugin is the first step, followed by adding the Google Sheets addon. Once the addon is installed, you must connect your Google account with WPForms. After your account is connected, a form must be created or edited within WPForms to utilize the integration. Subsequently, the Google Sheets addon settings need to be configured, ensuring the form fields are correctly mapped to the corresponding Google Sheets spreadsheet columns. Finally, the form should be embedded on a webpage to start collecting and sending data to Google Sheets automatically.

Advanced Configuration

For more advanced users or developers, the Google Sheets Addon can be connected to a custom Google application. This requires enabling various APIs such as Google Drive API, Google Sheets API, and Google Picker API. Additional steps include adding a User Type, App Domain, developer contact information, and necessary scopes for the app. Scopes can be enabled by clicking a checkbox, and it is also possible to add test users and review the app registration. Before the integration can function, the app must be published, and credentials need to be created.

Using Sourcetable as an Alternative

As an alternative to direct integration, Sourcetable offers a way to sync live data from almost any app or database, including WPForms and Google Sheets. This can be an efficient solution for users looking for a more flexible and extensive data management tool that goes beyond the integration capabilities of WPForms and Google Sheets alone.
