When new form submission is received in Elementor Pro Form, check if a field contains a word using Filters, and add the data to Google Spreadsheet
Check each Elementor Pro form submission for a word in a field you choose, and add a Google Sheets row only for the entries that contain it. You set the word in the Filter after import.

What this workflow does
One Elementor Pro form often collects messages of very different kinds. If a team only cares about entries that mention a product, a city or a keyword such as refund, sifting the full list by hand wastes time. This workflow writes just the entries that contain the word you pick.
The Elementor trigger fires on New Form Submission from an Elementor Pro form. The second step is Continue If Condition Meet, a Filter that decides whether the entry goes on. The template ships with no condition in it, and a Filter with no condition stops every run. So until you add your rule, nothing reaches the sheet. Set it to check that your chosen field contains the word you want.
When an entry passes, the run continues to Google Sheets, where Add New Row writes the mapped fields to your spreadsheet. Entries that fail stop at the Filter and add nothing. Task History shows each run and where it ended.
Refund requests from a general contact form
The Filter checks the message field for the word refund, and only those entries reach the sheet your billing team reviews.
Leads for one product line
Entries whose message names a specific product are written to that product manager's spreadsheet.
Local service enquiries
A business serving several towns keeps a sheet of enquiries whose address field contains the town one crew covers.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
Elementor New Form SubmissionRuns each time an Elementor Pro form on your site is submitted. All of the submitted fields are handed to the Filter and the Google Sheets step.
- Filter Continue If Condition Meet
Continues only when the condition you add is met, such as a field containing your word. It ships empty, and an empty Filter stops every run, so set the condition before you turn the workflow on.
- Google Sheets Add New Row
Writes a new row to the spreadsheet you choose for each submission that passed the Filter. Map the Elementor form fields to columns and connect your Google account.
What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- Elementor PluginPlugin
- Google Sheets AccountAccount
After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Set the Filter's condition to contains, pick the form field to check, and type the word. Without this, the Filter stops every submission and the sheet stays empty.
- Choose a word that the entries you want contain and others don't. After a few days, look in Task History at which entries stopped at the Filter and adjust the word if needed.
- Send two test submissions after import, one with your word and one without, then confirm in Task History that only the first added a row.
Questions about this workflow
Why did no Elementor entries reach Google Sheets after import?
As imported the Filter holds no rule, and with no rule it halts each submission. Add the contains rule for your field and word, then submit a new test entry.
Which Elementor form fields can the Filter check for a word?
Any field the Elementor Pro form submits, such as a message or subject field you built. Pick it in the Filter's condition after a test submission has come through.
Is the free version of Elementor enough for this template?
No. The form submissions this trigger listens for come from the Elementor Pro form widget, so Elementor Pro must be active on the same site as FlowMattic.
Do Elementor entries without the word go anywhere?
No. Those runs stop at the Filter. Elementor still handles the submission as usual, but no row is added for it.
