how to integrate ws form with google sheets
IN SUMMARY
Integrating WS Form with Google Sheets allows you to automatically send form submission data to a Google Sheet. This can be achieved using a third-party integration tool like Zapier or a custom code solution.
Using Zapier for Integration
In Zapier, create a new Zap and choose WS Form as the trigger app and Google Sheets as the action app. This will connect the two services and allow data transfer between them.
Select the specific WS Form you want to integrate and choose the trigger event, such as 'New Entry' or 'Form Submission'. This will tell Zapier when to start the workflow.
Connect your Google account and select the spreadsheet and worksheet where you want the form data to be sent. Map the form fields to the corresponding columns in the sheet.
Using Custom Code Integration
Visit the Google API Console, enable the Google Sheets API, and create credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) for a web application. This will allow your code to access and modify Google Sheets.
Set up a server-side script (e.g., PHP, Node.js) to handle form submissions from WS Form. Use the Google API client library to authenticate and send data to the specified Google Sheet.
In WS Form, set up a webhook or action to send form data to your server-side script. This will trigger the code to run and update the Google Sheet with the submitted data.
Additional Considerations
Ensure that the form fields are correctly mapped to the corresponding columns in the Google Sheet. You may need to format the data or perform additional transformations before sending it to the sheet.
Implement error handling and logging mechanisms in your integration to troubleshoot issues and monitor the data flow between WS Form and Google Sheets.
Secure your integration by following best practices, such as using secure connections (HTTPS), restricting access to sensitive data, and regularly updating dependencies and libraries.
