How to Integrate Forms With Google Sheets

November 21, 2024

Google Sheets is a powerful data management tool that helps you organize data and collaborate with others. You can integrate your forms with Google Sheets to automatically forward your form entries to your spreadsheet. New form data will be sent to your spreadsheet instantly so you and your team can view and analyze it immediately.

Notes

  • Changes in your Google Sheets spreadsheet don’t affect your Jotform form entries.
  • Renaming column headings in Google Sheets may break the integration. You can redo the integration in Jotform to fix it.
  • Adding filters in Google Sheets may stop your spreadsheet from updating. Reapply the filters in Google Sheets to see the updates.
  • Inline edits in Tables won’t update entries in Google Sheets, unlike entry edits.

  1. In the Form Builder, navigate to Settings at the top.
  2. Select Integrations on the left.

Note

The “Use an Existing Spreadsheet” option allows you to select an existing spreadsheet from your Google Sheets or Drive account, but it works a little differently. Instead of adding new submissions as a new row to the selected spreadsheet, it creates a new worksheet to store your form data.

  1. Click the Authenticate button. Ensure to connect the appropriate Google account for the integration, and allow access permission when asked.

  1. Now, set up the options accordingly:
    • Spreadsheet Name — Enter the name of the spreadsheet that will be created.
    • Worksheet Name — Enter the name of the worksheet.
    • Fields to Send to Google Fields — The integration selects all fields by default. Uncheck the fields you wish to exclude.
    • Send Existing Submissions to the Sheet — If you have existing submissions in the form, you can send them to the spreadsheet by checking this option.
  2. Finally, click the Save button to complete the integration.

The Submission ID is part of the fields sent to the spreadsheet. You can include Submission Edit URL, Submission Edit Data, Submission URL, Submission Data, and Submission IP.

Once the integration is set, you can see and click the link to open the spreadsheet. If you hover your mouse over the created action, you’ll see the Edit Action (pencil icon) and the More (thee-dotted vertical icon) options to the right. The More option includes the following:

  • See Action Logs — This section will display your Google Sheet’s successful and failed runs. It’s useful when troubleshooting issues.
  • Rename Action — If you want to personalize the action’s title.
  • Disable Action — This option is useful to temporarily stop the integration from sending data.
  • Delete Action — If you want to remove the integration from your form.
