Connect Fluent Forms and Google Sheets

Fluent Forms collects the entry, and Google Sheets is where many teams read, sort and share it. FlowMattic writes each entry to a row, and it can also read the sheet while the visitor waits, to pick a redirect page, show a status message or close a class that is full. It suits WordPress site owners who run their admin from a spreadsheet.

1. TriggerNew Form Submission

2. ActionAdd New Row

When Fluent Forms fires New Form Submission, FlowMattic runs Add New Row in Google Sheets with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Fluent Forms and Google Sheets workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Save each Fluent Forms entry as a sheet row

Every answer goes into its own column, so the whole team can read, filter and share entries without a WordPress login.

New Form SubmissionAdd New Row

Log every payment form entry for accounting

Payment form entries are written to a finance tab with amount, status and payer, ready for the person who does the books.

New Payment Submission (Pro)Add New Row

Redirect visitors to a page picked from a sheet

Look up the visitor's answer, such as a postcode or product, in a sheet of URLs and send them to the matching page after they submit.

New Form SubmissionLookup Row DataRedirect to Custom URL

Show an application status read from the sheet

Applicants enter a reference number. The workflow finds their row and shows the status column as the form's success message.

New Form SubmissionLookup Row DataSet Custom Response

Close sign-ups once the sheet reaches a seat limit

Count the rows first. A Router adds the entry while seats remain and shows a waiting-list message once the class or event is full.

Ready-made template

Score each enquiry with AI before it is logged

An AI Agent step rates the message for intent and fit, and the score is written next to the entry so sales can sort by it.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

Set Custom Response and Redirect to Custom URL only affect the visitor who just submitted, so keep the sheet lookup short and in the same workflow.
New Payment Submission (Pro) requires Fluent Forms Pro and a form with payments turned on.
Field names come from your form, so the mapping above is an example. Check how multi-choice fields look in the captured test entry before mapping them to one cell.
Lookup Row Data needs an exact value to search for, so keep reference numbers and postcodes in a consistent format in the sheet.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Fluent Forms and Google Sheets connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Entries leave from your own server

Form data goes from your WordPress database to Google directly, with no other service keeping a copy.

The sheet can talk back

Fluent Forms actions let a sheet lookup change what the visitor sees, which a one-way export cannot do.

Popular forms cost the same

Runs are unlimited, so a busy registration form needs no bigger plan.

Common questions

Do I need the Fluent Forms Google Sheets add-on?

No. FlowMattic connects to Google Sheets itself, and the same workflow can add steps such as a lookup, a Router or an AI Agent before the row is written.

Can different forms write to different tabs?

Yes. Build one workflow per form with its own tab, or use one workflow with a Router that picks the tab based on a field.

Can I stop spam or test entries reaching the sheet?

Add a Filter after the trigger. For example, continue only when the email field is filled and the message does not contain words you choose.

How does the redirect lookup work?

Lookup Row Data searches a column for the visitor's answer and returns that row. Map the URL column from the result into Redirect to Custom URL.

Can I update a row instead of adding a new one?

Yes. Search for the email or reference with Lookup Row Data, then use Update Row on the row it returns.
