Live Forms provides wizards and a Google Connector that support easy direct connectivity with Google Sheets. You'll need a Google account and a Live Forms account.

Each time someone uses and submits your form, a new row is added to your Google sheet.

Let’s look at the most basic and common use case. You have a form and you want to collect your submissions in a Google Sheet.

Troubleshooting

"An unknown error has occurred" message

You may see the error message "An unknown error has occurred" when selecting your Google sheet from the dropdown after you log into the wizard with your Google account and access code. To prevent this, set the Share permission for your Google Sheet to private then run the Save to Google Spreadsheet wizard. Change the share permission to public once the wizard is completed.
