Featured Option: GSheetConnector for CF7

The GSheetConnector for CF7 is the most popular "bridge" plugin. It is a freemium tool that allows you to send data to your spreadsheets immediately upon form submission.

Real-time Syncing: Submissions appear in your sheet the second the user clicks "submit."

Simple Mapping: You just copy your CF7 mail tags (like [your-name]) into the first row of your Google Sheet.

Pro Version Perks: Includes automated sheet creation directly from WordPress and the ability to sync historical data (entries submitted before you installed the plugin).

How to Set It Up (Step-by-Step)

If you choose a standard connector like GSheetConnector, follow these steps:

Prepare Your Google Sheet:

Create a new Google Sheet.

In the first row, enter your column headers. These must match your CF7 mail tags (e.g., date, your-name, your-email, your-message).

Authenticate WordPress:

Install the plugin and go to Contact > Google Sheets.

Click Get Code to authorize your Google account. Copy the provided access code and paste it into the plugin settings.

Link the Specific Form:

Edit your desired form in Contact > Contact Forms.

Open the new Google Sheets tab.

Enter your Sheet Name and Tab Name (e.g., "Sheet1") exactly as they appear in Google.

Test the Connection:

Fill out your form on your website. The data should appear in your spreadsheet within seconds.

Troubleshooting Tip: "The Spinning Arrow"

If your form just "spins" and never sends after integration, it is usually due to a naming mismatch. Ensure there are no extra spaces in your Google Sheet tab name and that your column headers exactly match the mail tags in your CF7 "Form" tab.
