SimplyForms + Google Sheets

Add every new submission as a row in a Google Sheet.

All integrations

Google Sheets is available on the Starter plan and above. See pricing for the full comparison.

Connect your Google account

  1. Open your form's dashboard → Integrations tab, type a spreadsheet name into the Google Sheets card, and click Connect Google.
  2. Sign in to Google (if asked) and approve access.
  3. Done — we create the spreadsheet in your Google Drive and every new submission is appended as a row. Open it from Drive any time.

SimplyForms can only access files it created— never the rest of your Drive (Google's drive.file permission). To change the destination, type a new name and click Reconnect Google (creates a fresh spreadsheet; the old one stays yours).

Test, pause & logs

  • Test appends a sample row so you can confirm it lands (and shows the real failure if it doesn't).
  • Pause / Resume stops or restarts rows without disconnecting.
  • Recent deliveries shows the latest appends and their status.
  • Automatic retries & auto-pause:transient failures (rate limits, outages) are retried automatically. If you revoke SimplyForms' access in your Google account or delete the spreadsheet, the integration is paused as Paused (failing)and your form's notification recipients are emailed — reconnect, then press Resume.

What gets added

The first row is a header (Submitted At plus your field names, seeded automatically). Each submission then appends one row aligned to those headers. Internal fields (honeypot, spam tokens) are excluded, and values that look like formulas (starting = + - @) are prefixed with an apostrophe so a submitter can never inject a formula into your sheet.

Security & privacy

  • SimplyForms uses Google's drive.file scope: it can only see and edit spreadsheets it created — nothing else in your Drive.
  • Your Google credential is stored encrypted and never shown to the browser; revoke it any time at myaccount.google.com → Security → Third-party access.
  • Rows only come from real, saved submissions — never spam, honeypot, or blocked submissions.
  • Submitted values are sanitized against spreadsheet formula injection.
