How to Send Contact Form Data to Google Sheets Free

You've got a contact form on your website, and you need those submissions to land straight into Google Sheets. Well, that sounds simple enough, right? But if you've ever tried figuring it out on a tight budget, you know there's are a bunch of ways to do it, and not all of them are free.

So in this guide, I'll walk you through the easiest and most cost-effective way to send contact form data to Google Sheets automatically. Whether you're a small business owner, a freelancer, or maybe even a marketing generalist like me, trust me, this will save you so much time and money in keeping everything organized.

What You'll Need for a Form-to-Sheets Sync

To set this up, you’ll need three things:

1. A Contact Form – Either from your website’s form builder (like WordPress, Wix, or Webflow) or a dedicated form solution like Konnectify Smart Forms.

2. Google Sheets – Where all your form responses will be stored.

3. Konnectify (Free Plan) – A no-code automation tool that connects your form to Google Sheets.

Why use Konnectify Smart Forms instead of regular form plugins? 

Because it’s built for automation and you won’t need extra tools or third-party integrations.

Setting Up Your Google Sheet

1️⃣ Go to Google Drive → Click New → Select Google Sheets.

After you do that, select the option to create a new spreadsheet.

2️⃣ Name your sheet (e.g., “Contact Form Submissions”).

3️⃣ Set up columns – Typical ones include:

• Name
• Email
• Phone Number
• Message
• Submission Date

Once this is ready, let’s move on to configuring your form.

Setting Up Your Contact Form

If You’re Using Konnectify Smart Forms (Recommended)

1️⃣ Sign into Konnectify → Go to Smart Forms.
2️⃣ Create a new form using drag-and-drop fields.
3️⃣ Customize branding – Change colors, fonts, and add a logo.
4️⃣ Embed or share the form – Either embed it on your website or share the form link directly.

If You’re Using Another Contact Form, You Can Just Plug it in!

If you already have a contact form (like WPForms, Gravity Forms, or Contact Form 7), you can still connect it to Google Sheets using Konnectify’s integrations.

Note : Just be sure your form fields match your Google Sheet columns.

Connecting Your Contact Form to Google Sheets with Konnectify

1️⃣ Log into Konnectify → Click Create New Workflow.

2️⃣ Set Your Trigger:

• If using Smart Forms, select “New Form Submission”.

• If using another form plugin, select its corresponding trigger (e.g., “New Jotforms Submission”).

3️⃣ Set Your Action → Choose “Send Data to Google Sheets”.

4️⃣ Map your Form Fields to the Google Sheet Columns.

5️⃣ Test the Integration by submitting a test form.

6️⃣ Activate the Workflow – Once everything looks good, turn it on!

🎉 And that’s it! Now, every new form submission will instantly show up as new rows in Google Sheets.

Why Send Contact Form Data to Google Sheets though?

There's a bunch of benefits you bet you can see after you learn how to send contact form data to google sheets free of cost. But let me just skim the best reasons why and give them to you.

✅ All your data is in one place – No need to log into multiple tools to check form submissions.
✅ Easy to share & collaborate – Google Sheets makes it simple to work with your team.
✅ Prevents data loss – No more missing leads because of plugin glitches.
✅ Free & scalable – Unlike expensive CRM tools, Google Sheets can store unlimited form entries without additional costs.

Now that we’re clear on why this matters, let’s get into how you can set it up.

Few Tips to Prevent Errors & Keeping Data Secure

✔ Check field mapping – Incorrect mapping can lead to blank or misplaced data.
✔ Verify Google Sheets permissions – Make sure Konnectify has editing access.
✔ GDPR Compliance – Store only necessary data and use secure sharing settings.
✔ Regularly review workflows – Make sure submissions are syncing correctly.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

🔹 Data isn’t appearing in Google Sheets → First, check if the workflow is active in Konnectify. If it is, try submitting a test entry and see if it appears. If not, confirm that the trigger is set up correctly. 

🔹 Wrong data in the wrong columns → Go to the field mapping section in Konnectify and make sure each form field is matched to the correct column in Google Sheets. Incorrect mappings can lead to misplaced or missing data. 

🔹 Google Sheets isn’t accepting new entries → Check if the sheet's sharing settings allow Konnectify to edit it. Also, ensure there are no script errors, protected cells, or full column restrictions preventing new data from being added.

Automating Contact Forms Further (Advanced Tips)

You have contact data syncs now, that’s great. But there’s a lot more you can actually automate after that google sheet data sync! 

I’m sure you’ll find some of these automations that push data to downstream apps useful.

✅ Send an email confirmation – Automatically email the user when they submit a form.
✅ Add conditional logic – Route data to different sheets based on form responses.
✅ Trigger Slack/WhatsApp notifications – Get notified instantly when a lead comes in.
✅ Sync with a CRM – Push new contacts to HubSpot, Salesforce, or ActiveCampaign.
