## Description

SheetLink Forms sends your form submissions straight to Google Sheets or Excel. 
Every submission becomes a properly mapped row – no manual exports, no per-submission
fees, no Zapier account.

Setup takes about three minutes: pick your form plugin, map fields to columns, and
connect Google in one click. SheetLink creates the sheet, or you pick an existing
one with Google’s file picker. Prefer not to connect an account? Paste the generated
Apps Script into your own sheet instead.

**Local-first.** Submissions go from your server straight to Google, never through
SheetLink’s servers. The one-click connection uses our sign-in broker only to link
and renew your account; your form data never passes through it. No telemetry, no
activation pings, no required account.

#### Supported form plugins

Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Elementor Pro, Fluent Forms, Formidable 
Forms, Ninja Forms, Forminator, Everest Forms, Beaver Builder, Divi and WS Form –
all from one admin screen.

Everything in this plugin is free and unlimited: every form integration, unlimited
sync rules, field mapping, the retry queue, delivery logs, attribution capture, 
conditional routing, mirrors to Excel Online, Airtable and Notion, local analytics
and a multisite overview. Additional features are available in SheetLink Pro, a 
separate plugin sold at sheetlinkwp.com, and two optional hosted services (the Lead
Inbox client portal and AI Lead Scoring) work with this plugin. The Features section
below lists all of it.

### Features

#### Free

 * All 12 form integrations, unlimited sync rules, field mapping
 * One-click Google Sheets connect, using Google’s restrictive `drive.file` scope,
   so SheetLink only ever sees sheets it creates or you pick
 * Mirroring to Excel Online, Airtable and Notion alongside your sheet
 * Automatic retry queue, delivery logs and a test button
 * UTM, GCLID, fbclid, msclkid, IP, page URL and referrer capture
 * Conditional routing, smart mapping suggestions, guided setup wizard
 * Local analytics, stored in your own database
 * Export and deletion through the WordPress privacy tools
 * Multisite network overview

#### SheetLink Pro (separate plugin)

A separate plugin sold and downloaded from [sheetlinkwp.com/pricing](https://sheetlinkwp.com/pricing)–
none of it is included in, or gated inside, this free plugin:

 * **Primary Destinations** – make Excel Online, Airtable or Notion a rule’s only
   destination. Mirroring alongside Sheets is free in this plugin
 * **Multi-CRM Routing** – HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign,
   Kit
 * **Two-Way Sync** – edit a row in your sheet, the change arrives back in WordPress
 * **WooCommerce Sync** – orders, refunds and customers in real time
 * **Extra Integrations** – JetFormBuilder, Bricks Builder, MetForm, Kali Forms,
   HappyForms, plus MemberPress, LearnDash and Easy Digital Downloads events
 * **Agency tools** – white-label admin, multisite dashboard, branded reports, role-
   based menus, network templates

#### Hosted services (optional, work with this free plugin)

 * **AI Lead Scoring** – 0-100 scoring of captured leads through the SheetLink API,
   off by default, behind a consent checkbox
 * **Lead Inbox client portal** – a hosted portal where your clients work their 
   leads without a WordPress login

Both are documented in the External services section below.

### External services

This plugin contacts the external services below. Google is core to the plugin’s
function; every other service is optional and is never contacted until you enter
its credentials and enable it. Each entry says what the service is for, what data
is sent and when, with links to the provider’s terms and privacy policy. Token storage
and privacy-notice guidance are in the FAQ.

#### Google Sheets API and Google Drive (one-click connection)

Google’s official Sheets and Drive APIs, used only after you click “Connect Google”
and grant consent at Google’s own sign-in screen. Per matching submission, the form
field values you mapped (plus optional enrichment such as timestamps, UTM parameters,
IP address and page URL, if enabled) are written from your server to `sheets.googleapis.
com`; creating a sheet and listing tabs use the same API, and the file picker uses`
www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/` and loads Google’s Picker script in wp-admin only.
The scope is `drive.file`, so SheetLink can only ever see spreadsheets it creates
or that you pick. Sign-in and periodic token renewal go through SheetLink’s broker
at `sheetlinkwp.com/api/sheetlinkwp/oauth/google/` so the Google client secret stays
off your site; your form data never passes through the broker. Disconnecting clears
the stored token and stops all calls.
 [Google Terms of Service](https://policies.google.com/terms)
| [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

#### Google Apps Script (classic method)

A web app you deploy in your own Google Sheet receives the mapped field values (
plus optional enrichment, as above) on each matching submission. Receiver URLs are
validated to begin with `https://script.google.com/` or `https://script.googleusercontent.
com/`. This method uses no API keys and no OAuth – nothing but your own Google script
is contacted.
 [Apps Script documentation](https://developers.google.com/apps-script)
| [Google Terms of Service](https://policies.google.com/terms) | [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

#### SheetLink License Server (only if you activate a licence)

Contacted only if you activate a paid licence: once when you paste the key, every
12 hours to refresh the cached entitlements, and when you click “Re-check entitlements”.
It sends your licence key (or purchase email as a fallback) and this site’s domain–
never form submissions, user accounts or site content – to `sheetlinkwp.com/api/
sheetlinkwp/verify` and `/entitlements`. Deactivating from the License page stops
all calls; free features keep working with no further requests.
 [SheetLink Terms](https://sheetlinkwp.com/terms)
| [SheetLink Privacy Policy](https://sheetlinkwp.com/privacy)

#### SheetLink AI Lead Scoring (optional, off by default)

A hosted service that returns a 0-100 score, a hot/warm/cold band and a one-sentence
explanation per captured lead. It runs only when your licence includes it AND you
have ticked “Score incoming leads with AI” in Lead Settings, on WP-Cron rather than
during the submission. It sends the submitted field values with contact details 
removed first (exactly how is in the FAQ) plus this site’s activation token to `
sheetlinkwp.com/api/sheetlinkwp/lead-score`. Unticking the box stops all requests
immediately.
 [SheetLink Terms](https://sheetlinkwp.com/terms) | [SheetLink Privacy Policy](https://sheetlinkwp.com/privacy)

#### SheetLink AI Analytics extras (optional, off by default)

Three optional per-submission extras on the Analytics page – sentiment, summary 
and category – computed by the same hosted service. Called only when the specific
extra AND AI consent in Lead Settings are both enabled. Sends the field values scrubbed
exactly as for AI Lead Scoring, your own category list when the category extra is
on, and the activation token to `sheetlinkwp.com/api/sheetlinkwp/analytics`. Everything
else on the Analytics page is computed locally and sends nothing.
 [SheetLink Terms](https://sheetlinkwp.com/terms)
| [SheetLink Privacy Policy](https://sheetlinkwp.com/privacy)

#### Microsoft Graph API (only when Excel Online is connected)

Microsoft’s OneDrive and Excel Online API. Used only after you click “Connect Excel”,
grant consent at Microsoft’s sign-in page, pick a workbook and table, and enable
Excel on a rule. Per submission, the field values you mapped are inserted into your
chosen Excel table at `graph.microsoft.com`. Token refresh goes through SheetLink’s
broker at `sheetlinkwp.com/api/sheetlinkwp/oauth/microsoft/` so the Azure client
secret stays off your site; form data never passes through the broker. Disconnecting
stops all calls and clears the stored tokens.
 [Microsoft Services Agreement](https://www.microsoft.com/servicesagreement)
| [Microsoft Privacy Statement](https://privacy.microsoft.com/)

#### Airtable API (only when an Airtable destination or mirror is configured)

Creates a record in your Airtable table at `api.airtable.com` once per matching 
submission and on “Send Test” – but only after you enter an Airtable personal access
token, base and table and enable Airtable on a rule. It sends the field values you
mapped (or all captured fields if you set no mapping) with your token as the credential.
Disabling the rule or clearing the stored token stops all requests.
 [Airtable Terms of Service](https://www.airtable.com/company/tos)
| [Airtable Privacy Policy](https://www.airtable.com/company/privacy)

#### Notion API (only when a Notion destination or mirror is configured)

Creates a page in your Notion database at `api.notion.com` once per matching submission
and on “Send Test”; it also reads the database schema when you open the settings
page so your Notion properties can be offered for mapping. Requires a Notion internal
integration token and database ID. It sends the field values you mapped (or all 
captured fields if you set no mapping) with your token as the credential. Disabling
the rule or clearing the stored token stops all requests.
 [Notion Terms of Service](https://www.notion.com/terms)
| [Notion Privacy Policy](https://www.notion.com/privacy)

#### Twilio API (only when SMS Alerts are configured)

Sends you an SMS or WhatsApp alert per matching submission (and on test sends) after
you enter a Twilio Account SID, auth token, from-number and recipients, and enable
alerts on a rule. It sends the alert body you composed – which by default contains
the form values you put in the template – the sending and recipient phone numbers,
and your Twilio credentials to `api.twilio.com`. Disabling alerts or clearing the
credentials stops all requests.
 [Twilio Terms of Service](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/tos)
| [Twilio Privacy Policy](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/privacy)

#### Meta (Facebook) Conversions API (only when Meta CAPI is configured)

Reports a form submission to your Meta advertising pixel as a server-side conversion
event, after you enter a pixel ID and access token and enable it on a rule. It sends:
the submitter’s email and phone number hashed with SHA-256 before leaving your server(
never in plain text), the `fbclid` click ID if present, the submitter’s IP address
and browser user-agent as-is (Meta uses these to match the event), the page URL,
an event name, timestamp, currency and value, and your access token – to `graph.
facebook.com`. Other form field values are not sent. This shares personal data with
Meta for ad measurement; see the FAQ on privacy notices and consent before enabling
it.
 [Meta Terms of Service](https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms) | [Meta Privacy Policy](https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy)

#### SheetLink Lead Inbox cloud sync (only when the client portal is enabled)

When the hosted client-lead portal is switched on for a site, each captured lead
is mirrored to `sheetlinkwp.com/api/sheetlinkwp/leads` – including the lead’s name,
email address and phone number in plain text, all submitted field values, attribution
data, capture time, status and value fields – so your client can view and work leads
in a browser without a WordPress login. Unlike AI Lead Scoring this data is deliberately
not scrubbed, because the portal exists so your client can contact the lead. It 
pushes when a lead is captured and when its status, owner or value changes. Switching
the portal off stops all pushes; see the FAQ on privacy notices before enabling 
it.
 [SheetLink Terms](https://sheetlinkwp.com/terms) | [SheetLink Privacy Policy](https://sheetlinkwp.com/privacy)

Every other feature – smart mapping suggestions, local analytics charts, duplicate
detection, conditional routing, ads conversion exports, the email digest, and the
setup wizard – runs entirely on your own WordPress server and contacts nothing.

## FAQ

### How do I send Contact Form 7 submissions to Google Sheets?

Install SheetLink Forms, create a sync rule, choose your Contact Form 7 form, connect
Google, and map the form fields to spreadsheet columns. New submissions are added
as rows automatically. Step-by-step guide: [Connect Contact Form 7 to Google Sheets](https://sheetlinkwp.com/how-to/connect-contact-form-7-to-google-sheets).

### Can I connect WPForms Lite to Google Sheets for free?

Yes. Both WPForms Lite and WPForms Pro are supported, and the free SheetLink plugin
sends unlimited WPForms submissions to Google Sheets. Step-by-step guide: [Connect WPForms to Google Sheets](https://sheetlinkwp.com/how-to/connect-wpforms-to-google-sheets).

### How do I connect Elementor Forms to Google Sheets?

Create a sync rule, select your Elementor Pro form, connect or pick a Google Sheet,
and map each Elementor field to a column. Step-by-step guide: [Connect Elementor Forms to Google Sheets](https://sheetlinkwp.com/how-to/connect-elementor-forms-to-google-sheets).

### Does SheetLink support Gravity Forms to Google Sheets?

Yes. Gravity Forms entries go to Google Sheets in real time, with custom field mapping,
delivery logs, and automatic retries. Step-by-step guide: [Connect Gravity Forms to Google Sheets](https://sheetlinkwp.com/how-to/connect-gravity-forms-to-google-sheets).

### Can WordPress forms send entries to Excel Online?

Yes. SheetLink mirrors submissions into an Excel Online workbook on Microsoft 365
or OneDrive for free, alongside your Google Sheet. Making Excel a rule’s only destination
is a feature of the separate SheetLink Pro plugin. Note that Microsoft’s Excel API
supports business accounts only – personal Outlook.com OneDrive is not supported
by Microsoft for this. Step-by-step guide: [WordPress forms to Microsoft 365](https://sheetlinkwp.com/how-to/wordpress-forms-to-microsoft-365).

### Do I need to create an account or register?

No. SheetLink Forms works immediately after installation. No account, no registration,
no license key required.

### Do I have to paste an Apps Script into my sheet?

Not anymore. Connect your Google account in one click and SheetLink writes rows 
through Google’s official Sheets API – it can create the sheet for you, or you pick
an existing one with Google’s own file picker. The classic Apps Script method remains
fully supported for users who prefer a zero-account, script-only setup; both are
free.

### Do I need a Zapier account?

No. SheetLink Forms sends data directly from WordPress to Google Sheets – through
your one-click connected Google account or via a free Google Apps Script. No third-
party services needed.

### Does the plugin call home or track anything?

No telemetry, no analytics beacons, no activation pings. On a default install, form
submissions go only to the Google destination you configured – never through SheetLink’s
servers. If you use the one-click Google or Microsoft connection, the sign-in handshake
and periodic token renewal go through SheetLink’s OAuth broker at sheetlinkwp.com;
your form data never does.

Several optional features, each off until you configure it, do send submission data
elsewhere: the Excel Online, Airtable and Notion destinations send it to Microsoft,
Airtable and Notion respectively; SMS Alerts sends your alert text to Twilio; Meta
Conversions API sends a hashed conversion event to Meta; and three optional hosted
features route data through SheetLink’s own servers – AI Lead Scoring, AI Analytics
extras, and the Lead Inbox client portal. See the “External services” section below,
which documents every one of them individually.

### What does AI Lead Scoring remove from a lead before sending it?

Names and phone numbers are replaced with the placeholder “provided”, email addresses
are reduced to their domain, and any email address or phone number typed into a 
free-text answer is redacted in place. Free-text answers are otherwise sent as written,
since that is what the rating is based on. The form identifier, the source form 
plugin name, the site URL and WordPress user account data are never sent.

### How are my Google and Microsoft tokens stored?

Refresh tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM (key derived from your site’s `wp_salt('
auth' )` via HKDF) before being written to your own database, and are cleared the
moment you disconnect. Access tokens are short-lived (about an hour). Nothing is
stored on SheetLink’s servers beyond what the OAuth broker needs to complete the
handshake.

### Do I need to update my privacy notice when I enable these features?

If your forms collect personal data: with the one-click Google or Excel connection,
list `googleapis.com` or `graph.microsoft.com` (and `sheetlinkwp.com` for the sign-
in broker) as processors. With AI Lead Scoring, AI Analytics extras or the Lead 
Inbox portal, list `sheetlinkwp.com` as a processor – the portal transfers lead 
contact details in plain text, so satisfy yourself that you have a lawful basis 
first. Meta Conversions API shares an IP address and hashed contact details with
Meta for ad measurement, which in the EU/UK and similar jurisdictions normally requires
disclosure and consent – list Meta as a recipient and obtain consent where your 
local law requires it before enabling it.

### Which form plugins are supported?

Elementor Pro Forms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Formidable
Forms, Ninja Forms, Forminator, Everest Forms, Beaver Builder, Divi, and WS Form.

### How do I set up the Google Sheet?

SheetLink Forms generates the Google Apps Script for you. Click “Get Script” on 
any rule, copy the code, and paste it into your Google Sheet’s Apps Script editor(
Extensions > Apps Script). Then deploy it as a web app.

### Can I send different forms to different sheets?

Yes. Create multiple sync rules, each pointing to a different Google Sheet (a different
connected sheet, or a different Apps Script URL with the classic method).

### Is my data secure?

Form submission data is sent directly from your WordPress server to Google over 
HTTPS: to `sheets.googleapis.com` (Google’s official Sheets API) when you use the
one-click connection, or to the Google Apps Script URL you configure with the classic
method (only `script.google.com` and `script.googleusercontent.com` URLs are allowed
as receivers). It never passes through SheetLink’s servers. If – and only if – you
enable the optional Lead Scoring add-on on the Analytics page, a copy of each submission
is also sent over HTTPS to `https://sheetlinkwp.com/api/sheetlinkwp/lead-score`.
Every other feature of the plugin runs locally on your WordPress server.

### What happens if the Google Sheet is unavailable?

The submission is logged as failed and automatically retried up to 3 times (every
15 minutes). You can also retry manually from the Retry Queue page.

### Is SheetLink a free Zapier alternative?

Yes. Zapier’s base plan starts around $20/month and charges per task. SheetLink 
delivers unlimited form submissions from your WordPress site directly to Google 
Sheets at no cost – no per-task fees, no subscription, no registration. You own 
the entire pipeline.

### Does SheetLink work with WPForms?

Yes. WPForms is fully supported in the free core, both Pro and Lite. Every submission
is mapped to your chosen Google Sheet with the fields you select.

### Does SheetLink work with Elementor Pro forms?

Yes. Elementor Pro Forms are fully supported in the free core. Create a sync rule,
map fields, connect Google in one click (or paste the generated Apps Script) – done.

### Does SheetLink work with Fluent Forms?

Yes. Fluent Forms is fully supported in the free core, along with 11 other form 
plugins (Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Elementor Pro, Formidable, Ninja
Forms, Forminator, Everest Forms, Beaver Builder, Divi, WS Form).

### Can I send WooCommerce orders to Google Sheets?

Yes, with the WooCommerce Sync add-on. It pushes orders (created, completed, refunded),
customers, and product catalogue changes (price, SKU, stock, status) to Google Sheets
in real time. This is a premium feature; the free core covers form submissions.

### How is SheetLink different from GSheetConnector and other single-form plugins?

Most CF7-to-Sheets or form-to-Sheets plugins handle one form type. SheetLink supports
12 form plugins from a single admin interface, includes an automatic retry queue
that recovers failed deliveries, captures UTM and click-ID parameters for marketing
attribution, runs local analytics on your own WordPress database, and ships a guided
setup wizard that takes new installs from zero to a working Google Sheet in about
three minutes.

### Does SheetLink work with WordPress Multisite?

Yes. The free core includes a network-admin overview of all subsites. Multisite-
wide central management and the Agency Dashboard are available in the Agency Plus
tier.

## Changelog

#### 1.17.0

 * Changed: **every paid feature has moved into SheetLink Pro, a separate plugin
   downloaded from sheetlinkwp.com.** This plugin now contains no locked or licence-
   gated functionality, in line with the WordPress.org plugin guidelines. Advanced
   Routing, White-Label, Branded Reports, Agency Dashboard, Role Access, WooCommerce
   Sync, Extra Integrations, Multi-CRM Routing, Two-Way Sync and Bulk Site Management
   all live in SheetLink Pro now. **If you have a licence and used any of these,
   install SheetLink Pro and everything comes back exactly as it was** – same settings,
   same licence key, nothing to reconfigure. A notice with a download link appears
   in your admin after updating.
 * Changed: choosing Excel Online, Airtable or Notion as a rule’s ONLY destination
   is now offered by SheetLink Pro. The free mirrors to all three destinations are
   unchanged, and any existing rule already set up that way keeps delivering.
 * Changed: the Features page now lists this plugin’s own (all free) features; SheetLink
   Pro adds its cards to the same page when installed.
 * Changed: readme rewritten – every external service the plugin can contact is 
   now documented individually under “External services”, with what is sent, when,
   and links to each provider’s terms and privacy policy.
 * Fixed: a number of request values (credentials, field mappings, phone numbers,
   template and recipient fields) are now sanitized at the moment they are read,
   not only when used. Partial form-abandonment payloads and network templates are
   sanitized recursively after decoding.
 * Changed: changelog entries older than 1.16.0 moved to changelog.txt, bundled 
   with the plugin.
 * Tested up to WordPress 7.1.

#### 1.16.1

 * Changed: the plugin’s display name is now “SheetLink Forms for Google Sheets 
   and Excel” in both the readme and the plugin header, so the two match and the
   name leads with the plugin’s own brand rather than a trademark.
 * Changed: the readme description has been shortened. It was long enough to be 
   trimmed when the directory parsed it, which meant part of it was never displayed.
 * Changed: changelog entries older than 1.14.8 moved to changelog.txt, bundled 
   with the plugin. No functional change.
 * Fixed: five places where a value was printed into admin HTML or a digest email
   without escaping, including the white-label name and accent colour.
 * Fixed: failed deliveries to Meta CAPI, Twilio SMS and Excel wrote the provider’s
   error message or response body to the PHP error log on every failure, in production.
   Those can carry the request URL and its credentials, or the submitted lead’s 
   own details. Now logged only under WP_DEBUG, and only the status – matching what
   the Airtable and Notion destinations already did.

#### 1.16.0

 * Added: **the Lead Inbox now actually fills up.** The Leads, Lead Settings and
   Lead Reports screens arrived in 1.15.0, and nothing ever appeared in them, because
   SheetLink never announced a submission for them to record. Every submission now
   becomes a lead – **including submissions that match no sync rule at all, and 
   ones whose delivery fails**, which are exactly the enquiries that used to vanish
   without trace. Existing leads are unaffected; capture starts from this update.
 * Added: **AI Lead Scoring, working end to end.** Each new lead is rated 0-100 
   with a hot / warm / cold band and a one-line explanation of the rating, shown
   in the Leads list, on the lead itself, and in the CSV export. You can sort the
   list by score. Off until you switch it on in Lead Settings, and it only ever 
   scores leads captured after you do – it will not work through your back catalogue
   or spend your monthly allowance on old enquiries.
 * Added: **contact details are removed before anything is sent for scoring.** Names
   and phone numbers are replaced with a placeholder, email addresses are reduced
   to their domain (so “works at a company” survives but the person does not), and
   an email address or phone number typed into a message is redacted in place. The
   rating quality is unaffected – scoring reads intent, not identity.
 * Added: **a Setup item in the SheetLink menu, so the setup guide is always one
   click away.** Activating the plugin already takes you straight into it, but that
   only happens once – and it is skipped entirely if you activate several plugins
   together, install over WP-CLI, or switch SheetLink off and back on. Anyone who
   missed that first-run screen previously had no way back to it.
 * Added: **delivery outcomes now attach to the lead, including recovery.** A delivery
   that failed and then succeeded on a later retry used to read as “failed” on that
   lead forever, even though the row was sitting in your sheet. The lead now shows
   it recovered, and its history says when.
 * Changed: **AI scoring is switched on in Lead Settings.** It was previously only
   offered on the Analytics page, which does not exist unless you have separately
   enabled the free Local Analytics feature – so a customer whose plan included 
   scoring had no way to reach the switch. The Analytics page now shows whether 
   AI consent is on and links to it.
 * Changed: **scoring and the AI extras use your existing licence, not a second 
   token.** The “API Token” field on the Analytics page is gone. It asked you to
   paste in a value SheetLink already had, and leaving it blank silently disabled
   features you were paying for.
 * Fixed: **uninstalling left settings behind in your database.** Sixteen options
   survived a full uninstall, including a stored Google Sheets two-way state, every
   Lead Inbox setting, and cached diagnostics. Deleting the plugin now removes them.**
   Your captured leads are still kept on purpose** – removing a plugin should not
   delete the enquiries you collected, so the three lead tables are only dropped
   if you explicitly ask for that.
 * Fixed: hidden `_sheetlink_id` column groundwork for linking a spreadsheet row
   back to its lead. It is only sent to sheets whose Apps Script is current, so 
   nothing appears in your existing sheets and no redeploy is required; if you do
   update your script it arrives hidden.
