Frequently Asked Questions about Cognito Forms + Google Sheets integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Cognito Forms and Google Sheets

Can I automatically add new Cognito Forms submissions to a Google Sheets document?

Yes, you can set up an integration where each time a new form submission is received in Cognito Forms, the details are automatically added as a new row in a specified Google Sheets document. This is done using a 'New Entry' trigger for Cognito Forms and an 'Add Row' action in Google Sheets.

Is it possible to update an existing Google Sheet entry when a Cognito Form submission is edited?

Currently, we support adding new entries but not updating existing ones directly. You might consider using form data versioning or managing entries through unique identifiers manually within your Google Sheet.

Can I use data from Cognito Forms to create charts or graphs in Google Sheets?

While our integration doesn't directly create charts or graphs in Google Sheets, you can set up the integration to ensure that all your form data is collected there. From within Sheets, you can then use Google's chart tools to generate graphs based on your collected data.

How often does the integration sync data between Cognito Forms and Google Sheets?

The integration triggers when there is a new form entry in Cognito Forms. Once this trigger is activated, it prompts an immediate action to add that data into your specified Google Sheet.

Are there any limits on the number of form entries that can be sent to Google Sheets?

The limitations are generally dictated by Google's own restrictions on rows per sheet and API usage. For most practical purposes, this means hundreds of thousands of rows should be manageable without issue.

Can I customize which fields from my Cognito Form are sent to Google Sheets?

Yes, you have the flexibility to map only specific fields from your Cognito Form to corresponding columns in your Google Sheet during the setup process.

What happens if there's an error during the transfer of data from Cognito Forms to Google Sheets?

If there's an issue transferring data, our system typically logs the error and retries automatically. You will also be notified so you can take manual action if necessary.

Practical ways you can use Cognito Forms and Google Sheets

Track form responses in Google Sheets

Automatically log new form submissions in Cognito Forms to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. When someone fills out one of your forms, Zapier instantly creates a new row in Google Sheets with the submission details. This saves time spent on manual data entry and ensures your records are always up-to-date and organized.
