<\/p>\n
Gravity Forms has a Zapier Add-On<\/a> which allows you to connect your forms with over 2,000 apps. One of our most popular add-ons, Zapier creates endless possibilities for form entry management, interactions between other third-party services, and automated workflows, to name a few options.<\/p>\n To install the Gravity Forms Zapier Add-On, simply open your WordPress dashboard and select Forms > Add-Ons<\/strong>. Then scroll down the page to Zapier and click on Install<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t got one already, you will also need to sign up for a free Zapier account.<\/p>\n To get started, you need to create a Zap to automate the process of sending your form entries to Google Sheets. To do this, open your Zapier dashboard and click on Make a Zap<\/strong>. Zapier will then walk you through each step of creating a Zap.<\/p>\n Choose the Gravity Forms<\/strong> application and then New Form Submission<\/strong> for the event that will trigger the Zap.<\/p>\n Zapier will now ask you to Test your Trigger<\/strong>. To do this, you need to copy the Webhook URL<\/strong> and then switch to a new tab and open your WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n From within WordPress admin, open the form you want to integrate with Zapier (or create a new form) and then select Form Settings<\/strong>. You need to set up a Zapier Feed for the form, so select Zapier > Zapier Feeds Add New<\/strong>, and then paste the Webhook URL into the feed.<\/p>\n Select Save Zapier Feed<\/strong> and then switch back to your Zapier dashboard and click on Test Trigger<\/strong>. After a few seconds you should see this success message...<\/p>\n You are now ready to move onto Step Two of creating a Zap.<\/p>\n Select the Google Sheets<\/strong> app and then choose an Event<\/strong>. There are numerous event options for Google Sheets, and the event you select will very much depend on how you want to use your form data once it has been transferred to Google Sheets.<\/p>\n Here we have chosen one of the most common options, Create Spreadsheet Row<\/strong>. This will simply add any new form submission into a new row on your chosen spreadsheet.<\/p>\n Zapier will now ask you to sign in to Google Sheets.<\/p>\n Next you will need to choose which spreadsheet you want your form submissions sent to. You may well want to create a new spreadsheet - if so, go ahead and do this in Google Sheets and then refresh the Zapier page - you should now see your new spreadsheet listed.<\/p>\n Once you have selected a spreadsheet and worksheet, you now need to map your form fields to the spreadsheet columns.<\/p>\n Before entry values can be mapped to a specific column of the spreadsheet, the columns first need to be defined. To do so, you'll need to access your spreadsheet in Google Sheets and add column headers to each column you want to place values inside. For example, the first row of your spreadsheet should look something like this\u2026<\/p>\n Next, back in your Zapier dashboard simply go through each column on the page and map a form field to it. When the entry is sent to Google Sheets, it will use this mapping to determine where to put the values from your form.<\/p>\n Once you have mapped all your fields, double-check your work and click Continue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Zapier will now ask you to test the Zap - click Test and Continue<\/strong>. Check your spreadsheet - the test values should now be populated as a new row in your spreadsheet!<\/p>\n If everything worked as expected, Zapier will display this message and you can go ahead and Turn on the Zap<\/strong>...<\/p>\n Once the Zap is enabled, any time you receive a form submission, a new row will be created in your spreadsheet.<\/p>\n For further information on setting up Gravity Forms Zapier Add-On, check out the docs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Gravity Forms has recently released a beta for Zapier v4. If you are a Zapier power user you are going to love the new release because now you can do all your Zaps\u2019 configurations inside of Zapier instead of the Add-On.<\/p>\n Additionally, Gravity Forms can be used as a Zapier action as well as a Zapier trigger, and much more!
