Feed Settings

1 )  Google Sheet Settings – (Auto Settings)

• In Google Sheet Settings, all sheets linked to your Service Account email will be fetched automatically and shown in the dropdown.
  After that, you can save the field settings and select the desired sheet to store your form data.

Google Sheet Settings – (Manual Settings)

• Inside the feed settings, enable the “Manual Sheet” toggle.

• Enter the required details:

  • Add the Sheet Name, Sheet ID, Tab Name, and Tab ID

  • Map Form Fields

    • At the bottom of the feed settings, you’ll see a list of form fields.

    • Map your form fields to the correct columns.

  • Save the Feed

    • After mapping, click the “Save” button.

    • Once saved, when a form is submitted, the selected field labels will appear in the connected Google Sheet.

  • Your Google Sheet must be shared with the email ID connected via the Service Account.Only if the sheet is shared with this email, it will appear in green below.
    If it’s not shared, the email will appear in red.
    Sharing your sheet with the Service Account email is mandatory — otherwise, data cannot be sent to the sheet.

Now, every new Elementor form submission will be sent to your selected Google Sheet using the service account.

In Feed Settings, whether you choose Auto or Manual, first share your Google Sheet with your Service Account email ID. After saving the Feed Settings, a label will appear in your sheet, and your Service Account email ID will be displayed in green at the top of the Sheet Settings section.
