Divi Contact Form to Excel
Divi by Elegant Themes powers millions of sites through its built-in Contact Form module - but that module only sends email. SheetLink captures every Divi submission at the moment it's made and writes it into a live Excel Online workbook on OneDrive via Microsoft Graph.
Why Divi Contact Form Users Need an Excel Connector
Divi's Contact Form module is email-only by default - no stored entries, no export, no webhook. If a notification email gets lost in a spam filter, the lead is gone, and there is no Excel trail to check. Teams on Microsoft 365 usually resort to Zapier or Power Automate metering, which defeats the point of Divi's all-in-one simplicity. No other WordPress plugin offers direct form-to-Excel-Online delivery - SheetLink adds it without a second form plugin.
Current Alternatives and Their Drawbacks
- Zapier - the Excel Online zap meters every submission as a task, with paid plans from $29.99/mo
- Power Automate - per-user or per-flow licensing, plus a flow to build and babysit
- Copying submissions out of notification emails into Excel by hand - fragile, and lost emails mean lost leads
How to Connect Divi Contact Form to Excel Online
Step-by-step setup guide
- 1
Install SheetLinkWP
Download SheetLink Forms from WordPress.org or sheetlinkwp.com and activate it. Divi Contact Form capture is built into the core plugin, and mirroring into Excel alongside Google Sheets is included free with the core plugin.
- 2
Connect your Microsoft account
Open SheetLink Forms -> Destinations -> Excel Online and click Connect Excel. Sign in with a Microsoft 365 work or school account - OAuth runs through SheetLink's hosted broker and your refresh token is stored encrypted at rest in your own WordPress database. Then pick a workbook and table on OneDrive from the picker.
- 3
Map your fields
Under SheetLink -> Sync Rules, pick Divi Contact Form as the source and map each form field to an Excel column. Divi contact form fields are identified by the field ID you set in the Divi builder - use those IDs on the left side of the mapping. Run Excel as a free mirror next to Google Sheets, or make it the primary destination with the AI Pack's Primary Destinations mode.

Verify with a test submission
Submit a test entry on the front end. The row appears in your Excel table within seconds - the same OneDrive workbook opens in Excel Online, desktop, and mobile. For a full walkthrough, see the tutorial on sending WordPress form submissions to Excel Online.
SheetLinkWP Excel Features for Divi Users
Native Divi capture
SheetLink hooks into Divi Contact Form's submission events directly - no second form plugin, no custom code, and your Divi layouts stay exactly as they are.
Real-time Microsoft Graph delivery
Payloads go straight from your WordPress server to Microsoft Graph and land as rows in a live Excel Online workbook - a permanent record that doesn't depend on notification emails arriving.
Free Excel mirroring
Send every Divi submission to Google Sheets and Excel Online at the same time with the free core plugin - no add-on, no monthly fee.
Automatic retry queue
If Microsoft Graph is briefly unavailable, SheetLink retries up to three times at 15-minute intervals, and you can re-fire any delivery manually. Nothing gets dropped silently.
Attribution capture
utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, utm_term, gclid, fbclid, and msclkid are appended to your Excel rows automatically - identical to Google Sheets delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the AI Pack for Excel-only delivery?
Only if Excel Online is your sole destination. Mirroring every Divi submission into Excel alongside Google Sheets is included free with the core plugin. Primary Destinations, part of the AI Pack ($29/mo or $290/yr), is only needed when you want to skip Google Sheets entirely.
Is this a CSV export?
No. SheetLink writes rows into a live Excel Online workbook on OneDrive through Microsoft Graph, in real time. Divi has no CSV export to begin with - this is a direct, automatic delivery, not a file you download.
Does it work with Microsoft 365 Business?
Yes. A Microsoft 365 work or school account on a tenant with a SharePoint Online licence is required. Personal Outlook.com accounts are not supported by Microsoft's Excel API. You sign in through the standard Microsoft consent screen and pick any workbook you can edit.
Can I send Divi submissions to both Google Sheets and Excel?
Yes, and that mode is free with the core plugin. A sync rule can deliver to Google Sheets and mirror the same submission into Excel Online at once - the AI Pack ($29/mo) is only needed for dropping Google Sheets from the flow.
Can I feed this data into Power BI?
Yes. Because submissions land in a real Excel workbook on OneDrive, you can point Power BI at that workbook and build refreshing dashboards on top of your Divi lead data.
What happens if Microsoft Graph is temporarily unavailable?
SheetLink queues the submission locally and retries automatically - 3 attempts at 15-minute intervals. You can also retry manually from the Retry Queue page, so no submissions are dropped silently.
