Homepage | Documentation | Support | Live Demo Why Connect Contact Form 7 to Google Sheets? Connecting Contact Form 7 to Google Sheets gives you a simple way to collect, organize, and share form submissions without manually copying data from emails or WordPress. Real-time Google Sheets sync – Send Contact Form 7 submissions to your Google Sheet as soon as they are successfully submitted. No manual exports or copy-pasting. Simple setup – Connect your Google account, map your CF7 form to a spreadsheet once, and future submissions are automatically added as new rows. Keep form entries organized – Store leads, inquiries, registrations, RSVPs, orders, and other Contact Form 7 data in a structured spreadsheet. Easy access for your team – Share, search, sort, and filter incoming submissions in Google Sheets without giving team members access to your WordPress dashboard. Local submission backup – Optionally store Contact Form 7 entries in your WordPress database, independently of the Google Sheets connection. ⚡ Key Features Real-Time Contact Form 7 to Google Sheets Sync Connect any Contact Form 7 form to a specific Google Sheet and worksheet tab using the Sheet Name, Sheet ID, Tab Name, and Tab ID. Automatically append a new spreadsheet row after every successful Contact Form 7 submission using the wpcf7_mail_sent event. Send your Contact Form 7 field values to their corresponding columns in Google Sheets. Supports the Contact Form 7 date special mail tag in the free version. Built-in formula-injection protection removes leading =, +, -, and @ characters from submitted values before they are sent to your spreadsheet. Newly added rows have inherited formatting cleared automatically to help prevent unwanted cell styling. Easy Google OAuth 2.0 Authentication Connect your Google account quickly without having to create your own Google Cloud project. Quick Connect (recommended) – Connect your Google account in just a few clicks using Google OAuth 2.0 authentication. No Google Cloud project or API keys are required when using Quick Connect. Once authenticated, configure your Contact Form 7 form and Google Sheet to start receiving submissions. For advanced setups, GSheetConnector also provides additional authentication options. Google Service Account Authentication Connect Google Sheets using a Google Service Account JSON key for server-to-server authentication. This method does not require an interactive Google login after configuration and can be useful for agencies, managed websites, and automated environments. CF7 Google Sheets Connector PRO also provides a manual Google authentication option for organizations that prefer to use their own Google Cloud project and OAuth credentials. How Field Mapping Works in the Free Version The free version uses your Contact Form 7 field names as column headers in Google Sheets. This creates a direct connection between each CF7 field and its corresponding spreadsheet column. For example, if your Contact Form 7 form contains: [text your-name] [email your-email] [tel your-phone] [textarea your-message] Add the corresponding field names to the first row of your Google Sheet: your-name | your-email | your-phone | your-message Then follow these steps: Create or open the Google Sheet where you want to receive Contact Form 7 submissions. Add your Contact Form 7 field names as column headers in the first row of the spreadsheet. Make sure each Google Sheets column header matches the corresponding CF7 field name. Enter the required Google Sheet and worksheet details in the connector settings. Save your configuration and submit a test entry through your Contact Form 7 form. The submitted values will automatically appear under their matching columns as a new row. You only need to configure the column headers once. Future Contact Form 7 submissions will automatically be added to the same Google Sheet. CF7 Google Sheets Connector PRO makes field management easier with automatic sheet and tab detection, custom column ordering, header renaming, field controls, and additional mail tag options. CF7 Database – Store Submissions in WordPress Keep a local record of your Contact Form 7 submissions directly inside WordPress. Optionally store every CF7 submission in your WordPress database, independently of the Google Sheets connection. Browse submissions separately for each Contact Form 7 form. Search and paginate stored form entries. Mark submissions as read or unread to help keep track of processed entries. Select stored entries and resend them to Google Sheets using the bulk Send to Spreadsheet action. Keeping submissions locally gives you an additional record of your form data and makes it easier to resend entries if a Google Sheets sync is interrupted or needs to be retried. Error Logs and System Status GSheetConnector includes built-in diagnostic tools to make troubleshooting your Contact Form 7 Google Sheets connection easier. A dedicated error log records Google authentication, connection, and API failures. Automatic error de-duplication helps prevent the same recurring error from unnecessarily filling the log. The System Status page displays useful information about your WordPress, PHP, plugin, and server environment. View recent WordPress debug log information to help identify configuration or compatibility problems.
