Everest Forms Google Sheets Integration
Everest Forms by WPEverest is a user-friendly drag-and-drop form builder focused on ease of use and mobile responsiveness. Send every Everest Forms submission straight to a Google Sheet you own, without Zapier, per-task fees, or middleware.
Why Everest Forms Users Need a Sheets Connector
Everest Forms keeps the builder simple and fast, but its Google Sheets add-on is part of the Pro bundle ($69+/year). Teams using Everest specifically because it stays out of the way don't want a second subscription to get their data into a spreadsheet.
Current Alternatives and Their Drawbacks
- Zapier or Make: per-task fees at $29.99+/mo plus the time cost of setup and monitoring
- The plugin's own Pro upgrade or paid Sheets add-on: a yearly subscription on top of whatever else you already pay for
- Custom Apps Script with a raw webhook action: no retry, no logs, and every change requires code
How to Connect Everest Forms to Google Sheets
Step-by-step setup guide
- 1
Install SheetLinkWP
Download SheetLink Forms from WordPress.org or sheetlinkwp.com and activate it. Everest Forms support is built into the core plugin, so no add-on is required.
- 2
Run the setup wizard
The first-run wizard detects Everest Forms on your site and walks you through the one-click Google connect: click Connect Google, approve the consent screen, and pick or create a sheet with the Google file picker. It takes about a minute. If you prefer full self-hosting, the wizard can still generate the classic Apps Script webhook instead.
- 3
Map your fields
Under SheetLink → Sync Rules, pick Everest Forms as the source and map each form field to a sheet column. Everest Forms fields have internal IDs like 'first_name', 'email'. Set these in the field editor; use them on the left side of the mapping. Smart Mapping suggests column headers automatically.
- 4
Verify with a test submission
Submit a test entry on the front end. The row appears in your sheet within seconds. The retry queue handles any transient Google Sheets outages automatically.
SheetLinkWP Features for Everest Forms Users
Native Everest Forms detection
SheetLink hooks into Everest Forms's submission events directly, so there are no filter plugins, custom code, or action wiring to set up.
Unlimited sync rules
Route different Everest Forms forms to different sheets, tabs, or even separate Google accounts, with no cap on the number of rules.
Automatic retry queue
If Google's API hiccups, SheetLink retries up to three times at 15-minute intervals, so nothing is dropped silently.
UTM, GCLID, and click-ID capture
Every submission auto-enriches with utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, utm_term, gclid, fbclid, msclkid, and the submitter's IP.
Conditional routing
Route submissions to different sheets or tabs based on field values, with 8 operators and unlimited rules, and no add-on is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SheetLink require Everest Forms Pro?
No. SheetLink hooks into Everest Forms's submission events whether you're on the free or Pro version. You don't need the plugin vendor's paid add-on.
What does SheetLink cost?
The SheetLink core plugin is free, with unlimited submissions and unlimited sites, forever, on WordPress.org. The integration shown on this page is included in the free core plugin with no subscription and no fees.
Where does my form data go?
Direct from your WordPress site to the Google Sheets API, or, on the classic self-hosted method, to the Apps Script you deploy in your own Google account. Submission payloads never pass through SheetLink's servers, and with the one-click connect the Google token is stored encrypted in your own WordPress database.
What if my Google Sheet is unreachable when a form is submitted?
SheetLink queues the submission locally and retries automatically, 3 attempts at 15-minute intervals. You can also retry manually from the Retry Queue page, and no submission is dropped silently.
Can I send Everest Forms submissions to multiple sheets at once?
Yes. Create multiple sync rules for the same form, each pointing at a different spreadsheet, picked with the one-click Google connect or via its own Apps Script URL. Or use Multi-Destination Routing (a Pro feature) to fan out a single submission to multiple destinations with priority and fallback.
