FAQ

Why isn’t the data send to spreadsheet? CF7 Submit is just Spinning.

Sometimes it can take a while of spinning before it goes through. But if the entries never show up in your Sheet then one of these things might be the reason:

1. Wrong access code ( Check debug log )
2. Wrong Sheet name or tab name
3. Wrong Column name mapping ( keep in mind that not to use capital letters, number as initial and special characters like underscores, double or single code, space etc. You can only use small letters and hyphen. )

Please double-check those items and hopefully getting them right will fix the issue.

How do I get the Google Access Code required in step 3 of Installation?

• On the Admin Panel > Contact form 7 > Google Sheets screen, click the “Get Code” button.
• In a popup Google will ask you to authorize the plugin to connect to your Google Sheets. Authorize it – you may have to log in to your Google account if you aren’t already logged in.
• On the next screen, you should receive the Access Code. Copy it.
• Now you can paste this code back on the Admin Panel > Contact form 7 > Google Sheets screen.

Had issues with the linking of CF7 to Sheets, so I went to their help desk. Abdullah helped me in a prompt and polite manner, and went through all the steps diligently. The CF7 Connector is easy enough to use, I’m just not tech savvy. Thanks Abdullah and team! Highly recommended.

Your technical support is THE BEST

selenastar75 December 18, 2023

Thank you very much for your technical support! The old plugin (installed in 2015) did not allow CF7 Google Sheets Connector to work properly, and it was very kind of you to debug it personally. I really appreciate your help and time
