How to Send Fluent Forms Submissions to Googlesheets
Googlesheets is a platform platform. If you want Fluent Forms submissions in Googlesheets, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.
Why connect directly?
Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-submission fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Fluent Forms installed and at least one form.
- A Googlesheets account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Googlesheets to AFI
Googlesheets uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Googlesheets, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Fluent Forms to Googlesheets.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Fluent Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select Googlesheets as the destination
Choose Googlesheets from the platform dropdown and pick Add Record. This creates a record in Googlesheets.
4. Map fields
Match each Googlesheets field on the left to the corresponding Fluent Forms field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Fill out your Fluent form and submit. Check Googlesheets to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps name and email to Googlesheets with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
