Introduction

GSheetConnector for Elementor Pro allows you to automatically send your Elementor Form submissions directly to Google Sheets. By creating a Feed, you can connect your Elementor Form with a specific Google Sheet and configure which form fields should be synced.

The Feed Setting helps you manage the connection between your Elementor Form and Google Sheet. Once the Feed is configured correctly, every new form submission will be automatically added as a new row in your connected Google Sheet.

Before creating a Feed, you need to create an Elementor Form and configure the required fields. Follow the below steps to create an Elementor Form and start the Feed setup process.

Create Elementor Form

First, go to your WordPress Dashboard and create a new page.

  1. Navigate to Pages → Add New.
  2. Enter your page title.
  3. Click on Edit With Elementor.
  4. Search for the Form Widget and add it to your page.
  5. Configure your form fields according to your requirements.
  6. Save or update the page.

After creating the Elementor Form, you can proceed with creating a Feed in GSheetConnector.

Note :
  • The Elementor Form Widget is available only with the Elementor Pro version.
  • If you are using the free version of Elementor and want to create forms, you can use the MetForm plugin.
  • GSheetConnector provides compatibility with MetForm, allowing you to use the MetForm Widget inside Elementor and sync your form submissions with Google Sheets.
  • Make sure your form fields are properly configured before creating the Feed.
  • The field names used in your Elementor Form will be mapped with the Google Sheet header columns during Feed configuration.

Important Things to Keep in Mind

  • Make sure the Elementor Form is published and working correctly before creating the Feed.
  • Ensure that the GSheetConnector plugin is installed and activated on your WordPress website.
  • Your Google Sheet connection should be completed before syncing form submissions.
  • Use unique and clear field names in your form to make field mapping easier.
  • After creating and saving the Feed Settings, test your form submission to confirm that data is successfully added to your Google Sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Elementor Form not appearing in the Feed dropdown?


Make sure you have added GSheetConnector in the Actions After Submit settings of your Elementor Form and saved the form. Only forms configured with GSheetConnector will appear in the Feed dropdown list.

Why is my Service Account email showing in red color?
