WS Form to Google Sheets
WS Form is a developer-focused WordPress form builder known for its strict output, rich hook system, and performance. Send every WS Form submission straight to a Google Sheet you own - no Zapier, no per-task fee, no middleware.
Why WS Form Users Need a Sheets Connector
WS Form Pro has a Google Sheets add-on, but it's a per-site paid extension on top of the Pro license. Developers who chose WS Form for its clean code and hook system would rather own the <a href="/docs/google-sheets-setup">Apps Script</a> end-to-end than depend on yet another extension.
Current Alternatives and Their Drawbacks
- Zapier or Make - per-task fees at $29.99+/mo plus the time cost of setup and monitoring
- The plugin's own Pro upgrade or paid Sheets add-on - yearly subscription on top of whatever else you already pay for
- Custom Apps Script with a raw webhook action - no retry, no logs, every change requires code
How to Connect WS Form to Google Sheets
Step-by-step setup guide
- 1
Install SheetLink Forms
Download SheetLink Forms from WordPress.org or sheetlinkwp.com and activate it. WS Form support is built into the core plugin - no add-on required.
- 2
Run the setup wizard
The first-run wizard detects WS Form on your site, generates an Apps Script for your Google Sheet, and walks you through deploying it. Takes about three minutes.
- 3
Map your fields
Under SheetLink → Sync Rules, pick WS Form as the source and map each form field to a sheet column. WS Form fields have named keys set in the field properties. Use those keys on the left side of the mapping. <a href="/docs/role-access-ai-mapping">Smart Mapping</a> suggests column headers automatically.
- 4
Verify with a test submission
Submit a test entry on the front end. The row appears in your sheet within seconds. The retry queue handles any transient Google Sheets outages automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SheetLink require WS Form Pro?
No. SheetLink hooks into WS Form's submission events whether you're on the free or Pro version. You don't need the plugin vendor's paid add-on.
What does SheetLink cost?
SheetLink is a one-time payment: Freelancer $39 for 5 sites, Agency $79 for 25 sites, Enterprise $149 for 100 sites. The integration shown on this page is included in all tiers - no monthly subscription.
Where does my form data go?
Direct from your WordPress site to the Google Apps Script you deploy in your own Google account. SheetLink does not proxy or store submission data anywhere.
What if my Google Sheet is unreachable when a form is submitted?
SheetLink queues the submission locally and retries automatically - 3 attempts at 15-minute intervals. You can also retry manually from the Retry Queue page. No submissions are dropped silently.
Can I send WS Form submissions to multiple sheets at once?
Yes. Create multiple sync rules for the same form, each with a different Google Apps Script URL. Or use Advanced Routing (separate premium add-on) to fan out a single submission to multiple destinations with priority and fallback.
