FAQ

How to get smart tag like query_vars, user_meta key values to the Sheet?

• First, use hook “wpforms_smart_tags” to add the smart tags with the key for which you want the value to the Google Sheet as below example.

  add_filter( “wpforms_smart_tags”, “edit_smart_tags” );

  public function edit_smart_tags( $tags ) {
  $tags[‘query_var key=”wpformstest”‘] = esc_html__( ‘Query String Variable’, ‘wpforms-lite’ );
  return $tags;
  }

• Add same key ( query_var key=”wpformstest” ) to the Google Sheet header to get the values.

entry_id and entry_date smart tag not getting saved to the Google Sheet.

• WPForms lite version don’t save form submitted entries to the database. For a reason entry_id is zero(0) and entry_date is null. Hence not being saved to the Google Sheet.

Doesn’t work

skylabb September 17, 2024

I got my Google Sheets doc connected to WPForms plugin. When I test the form, submissions don’t go through and the form doesn’t load up the thank you message – nothing happens. In Google Sheet Connector settings panel, there’s a red warning message saying the data field labels need to be setup on the sheet document – I ready did as instructed. But something seems not right. Wasting too much time to make it work. When Google Sheet Connector plugin is deactivated, the webform works as intended. Clearly Google Sheet Connector is impeding the form to collect and send messages.

Plugin works but the Google Account gets disabled

The plugin works as intended but you have to use a personal Google Account to access and store the data in the sheets and Google detects these actions as spam/bots and they lock and even disable the account(s).

Sorry, but does not work at all and bad documentation!

vispr April 18, 2023

This was a complete waste of time and energy. It did not work at all, the documentation is so bad that you don′t even know if you set it up correctly (probably didn′t) and it caused my hosting provider to send me a warning that I am running out of “CPU minutes” as it kept working in the background. Most probably s it did not find the connection. Immediately deleted this plugin the next day, as I have no chance to get it working like this!

Great Plugin

nigeltp February 21, 2023

GsheetConnector is a great little add-on for wpforms. It does what it says on the tin, but you’ll have to be careful about getting the settings right (e.g. don’t forget to put the form field names into the sheet first and case sensitive). Recommended.

Perfect!

dspgms February 1, 2023

Exactly what I was looking for and works great! Pro version 100% worth it in my opinion, the extra features are really useful if you plan to use this much. Free version worked fine as well if you don’t need the extra features or can’t afford it, but it’s reasonably priced and definitely worth a look. Highly recommend checking this out. Thanks!
