How to Connect Elementor Forms to Google Sheets
Send every Elementor Pro form submission to Google Sheets automatically - including popup forms, dynamic fields, and multi-step forms. No Zapier. No per-submission fees.
TL;DR
Install SheetLink Forms, deploy a Google Apps Script webhook, paste the URL in SheetLink settings, map your Elementor form fields to Sheet columns, and test. Works with popup forms and dynamic tags. Requires Elementor Pro (the free version doesn't include forms).
Elementor Pro includes a powerful form widget - but no native way to send submissions to Google Sheets. Your options have been Zapier ($30+/month at volume), custom webhooks (requires development), or convoluted workarounds with multiple plugins.
SheetLinkWP hooks directly into Elementor Pro's form submission action. Every form - page forms, popups, sticky bars - is captured and sent to Google Sheets through a lightweight webhook. This tutorial covers the complete setup.
What You Need
- A WordPress site with Elementor Pro installed (forms are a Pro feature)
- A Google account with access to Google Sheets
- SheetLink Forms plugin (free tier or any paid license)
Step-by-Step Setup
- 1
Create your Google Sheet
Open Google Sheets and create a new blank spreadsheet. Name it - "Elementor Form Leads" or similar. Leave it blank for auto-generated headers.
- 2
Deploy the Apps Script webhook
In your Sheet, go to Extensions > Apps Script. Paste the SheetLinkWP receiver script, deploy as a Web app, and copy the URL.
- 3
Install SheetLink Forms
Download from sheetlinkwp.com or WordPress.org. Upload, install, and activate.
- 4
Connect the webhook
In SheetLink > Settings, paste the Apps Script URL and save.
- 5
Map Elementor form fields
Go to SheetLink > Field Mapping. Select "Elementor Forms" and choose your specific form. Elementor uses custom IDs you set in the form widget (like "name", "email", "phone"). SheetLinkWP detects these and displays them in the mapping interface. Map each to a Sheet column.
- 6
Test with a page form and a popup
First test with a standard page form - submit and verify the row appears in Google Sheets. Then test a popup form to confirm popup submissions are also captured. SheetLinkWP hooks into Elementor's core submission action, so all form locations are supported.
Troubleshooting
Popup form submissions aren't captured
Verify the popup form has a unique form name in Elementor. SheetLinkWP uses the form name to identify which mapping to apply. If the popup form has the same name as a page form, they'll share the same mapping (which is fine if they have the same fields).
Dynamic tag values appear as raw shortcodes
This typically means the dynamic tag isn't resolving before submission. Elementor should resolve dynamic tags before the form action fires. If you see raw shortcodes, check that your Elementor Pro version is up to date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Elementor Pro for this to work?
Yes. The free version of Elementor does not include a form widget. Elementor Pro (any tier) is required for forms.
Does SheetLinkWP capture popup form submissions?
Yes. SheetLinkWP hooks into Elementor Pro's core form submission action, which fires for all form locations: page content, popups, sticky bars, and slides.
Can I map Elementor's conditional fields?
Yes. SheetLinkWP captures the field values as submitted. If a field is hidden by conditional logic and no value is submitted, that column is left blank in the Sheet row.
What about Elementor's built-in form actions?
SheetLinkWP runs alongside Elementor's built-in actions. Your email notifications, redirect actions, and other integrations continue working.
