  • Create a new feed
  • Map Google Sheets fields to Gravity Forms form fields

Data Mapping

Column mapping is a crucial step in connecting your Gravity Forms to Google Sheets. You can write in any column names you’d like in a new spreadsheet.

For large forms, mapping columns to fields can be quite a chore, but auto-mapping can dramatically expedite this process.

The "Map All Fields" button will add a column for each form field, preselect the corresponding field, and name the column based on that field. This feature is a game-changer for new spreadsheets.

Existing spreadsheets can be mapped just as easily with the "Map All Columns" button, which adds a mapping row for each column and preselects the best-fit field based on the column name.

Data Sync

Data sync is a crucial aspect of integrating Gravity Forms with Google Sheets. You can choose to send data to Google Sheets at the end of form submission or when payment is complete with the Sync Trigger.

New form entries will be recorded and any missed entries can be synced to the sheet after activating the plugin. This is done through the Sync Setting, which helps sync past form entries to Google Sheets.

If you have existing entries, you can send them to a spreadsheet using the GF Feed Forge plugin or by reprocessing a feed, which ignores the feed's conditional logic. This allows you to bulk process feeds for most feed-based add-ons, including the Google Sheets Connection.

Send Existing Entries

If you're implementing a Google Sheets Connection on a form with existing entries, you may want to send those entries to a spreadsheet.

You can use the free GF Feed Forge plugin to bulk process feeds for most feed-based add-ons, including the Google Sheets Connection. This is the easiest way to send existing entry data to your Google Sheets.

The plugin will ignore the feed's conditional logic when reprocessing the feed. This means you can send all existing entries to your Google Sheets without worrying about any conditional logic rules.

The plugin is free and can save you a lot of time and effort when sending existing entries to your Google Sheets.

You can send all contact form submissions to Google Sheets or be more selective by sending specific submissions based on user input.

For example, you can filter entries by country, so only form entries from specific countries are sent to Google Sheets.

Error Handling
