Connect FlowMattic Forms and Google Sheets

FlowMattic Forms is built into FlowMattic, so a submission can do more than land in a sheet. It can read the sheet and answer the visitor. Log every entry as a row, look up a code or a page in another tab, then show it as the success message or send the visitor there. For WordPress sites that want a form and a spreadsheet to work as a small app.

FlowMattic 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.

Ready-made template

Append every FlowMattic Forms submission to a Google Sheet

Each submission becomes a row with every field in its own column, so the sheet is a sortable, shareable record of the form that anyone on the team can open.

New Form SubmissionAdd New Row

Show the visitor a result looked up from the sheet

Lookup Row Data finds the visitor's answer, such as an order or membership number, in a tab, and Set Custom Response shows the matching status on the page instead of the usual thank-you text.

New Form SubmissionLookup Row DataSet Custom Response

Hand out the next unused coupon code from a list

Keep a tab of codes. The workflow finds the next unused one, marks it as taken with the visitor's email and shows the code in the success message.

New Form SubmissionLookup Row DataUpdate RowSet Custom Response

Send visitors to the page that matches their answer

A sheet maps answers, such as a product or region, to page URLs. Set Custom Redirect URL takes the visitor there, and marketing changes the pages by editing the sheet.

Note the sheet row on each submission

After the row is added, Add Note to Submission records that it was logged, so whoever reads the entry in wp-admin knows it is already in the shared sheet.

Log each message and send help requests to the helpdesk

Every message is logged first. A Router then reads it: pricing questions go to sales, help requests are emailed to the helpdesk, and the sheet keeps the full record.

Set up: every submission as a sheet row

When you finish, each submission on the FlowMattic form you pick is added to your spreadsheet as a row.

Build the form
Create the form in FlowMattic Forms with the fields you need. It is part of FlowMattic, so there is no connection to add for it.
Connect Google Sheets
Under Connects, add a Google Sheets connection that can edit the spreadsheet, and give the sheet one header per field.
Start with New Form Submission
Create a workflow with the FlowMattic Forms trigger, choose the form and submit it once so every field is captured.
Add the row
Add Google Sheets Add New Row, pick the spreadsheet and tab, map each field to its column, test and switch the workflow on.

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 Set Custom Redirect URL change what the visitor sees after they submit, so keep the steps before them quick. A long Delay before them makes the visitor wait.
FlowMattic Forms actions belong to a submission, so Google Sheets triggers such as New Spreadsheet Row cannot use them. Sheet events can start other workflows instead.
For lookup workflows, keep the lookup values in one column with no duplicates, or Lookup Row Data may return a different row than you expect.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

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

Form, workflow and data on one site

The form and the workflow both run inside your WordPress site, so entries go to Google Sheets from your server with no form service in the middle.

Unlimited entries and lookups

Runs are unlimited, so a busy form that logs, looks up and answers each visitor costs the same as a quiet one.

The sheet can answer back

Because the form can show a custom response or redirect, a Google Sheet works as a simple back end for codes, statuses and page links.

Common questions

How do I send FlowMattic Forms submissions to Google Sheets?

Start a workflow with the FlowMattic Forms New Form Submission trigger, choose your form and add Google Sheets Add New Row. Map each field to a column, test with one submission and switch the workflow on.

Can the form show something from the sheet after submit?

Do I need a separate forms plugin?

No. FlowMattic Forms comes with FlowMattic, and its New Form Submission trigger is available in the workflow builder as soon as you build a form.

Can I keep a copy of the sheet as a file?

Yes. A Schedule workflow can run Export Sheet to Excel or Export sheet to CSV and save the file to your WordPress Media Library.
