The Google Sheets integration sends new FormHug submissions to a connected spreadsheet. Use it when you want a live spreadsheet for reporting, sharing, filtering, or downstream workflows. You can create a new Google Sheet from FormHug or connect an existing spreadsheet in your Google account.

​
When to Use Google Sheets

Google Sheets is useful when your team already works from spreadsheets, or when form data needs to be shared outside FormHug.
  • Share submissions with teammates who do not need dashboard access
  • Build lightweight reports, charts, and pivot tables
  • Review event registrations, applications, or survey responses in a familiar table
  • Use spreadsheet formulas or Google Workspace automations after submissions arrive

​
Before You Start

Make sure you have:
  • A FormHug form that is ready to collect submissions
  • A Google account you can authorize
  • Permission to create or edit the target Google Sheet
The Google Sheets integration sends new submissions after the connection is created. Existing submissions may need to be exported separately if you want historical data in the same sheet.

​
Check Synced Submissions

Submit a test entry after creating the connection. Then open the connected Google Sheet and check that the new row appears. Each row represents one FormHug submission. Form fields become spreadsheet columns, which makes the data easy to filter, sort, and share. Connected Google Sheet showing synced submission data in rows and columns

​
Limitations

  • The integration syncs new submissions after the connection is created.
  • Changes made inside Google Sheets do not update the original FormHug submission.
  • If you remove or rename form fields, review your connected sheet to make sure the columns still match your workflow.
  • Google account access is managed by Google. If authorization expires, reconnect the account from the integration page.
