JetFormBuilder to Excel
JetFormBuilder is the form engine of the Crocoblock suite for Gutenberg, Elementor, and Bricks. Push every submission - multi-step wizards, calculated fields, and all - into a live Excel Online workbook on OneDrive within seconds of arrival.
This integration requires the SheetLink Pro tier ($79/yr or $199 lifetime). The free core plugin already supports 12 major form plugins. Excel mirroring alongside Google Sheets is included free; Excel as the sole destination also requires Primary Destinations, part of the AI Pack ($29/mo or $290/yr).
The JetFormBuilder-to-Excel Gap
JetFormBuilder ships conditional logic, calculated fields, and multi-step wizards, but its post-submit actions reach Google Sheets only through the paid Pro tier - and Excel Online through nothing at all. Crocoblock agencies whose clients run on Microsoft 365 end up stitching webhooks into Zapier just to reach a workbook. SheetLinkWP's Excel Online destination closes that gap: no plugin covers JetFormBuilder to Excel, and SheetLink is the only multi-builder WordPress plugin with direct Excel Online delivery.
You Shouldn't Need Middleware to Reach a Workbook
- JetFormBuilder Pro adds Google Sheets, but there is no Excel action at any tier - Microsoft 365 clients are simply not covered
- Zapier treats every submission as a metered task - 500 entries/month lands around $20-$30+/mo, forever
- Power Automate needs a raw webhook action plus Premium per-user licensing (~$15/user/mo), and someone to maintain the flow
- Custom code against Microsoft Graph means owning token refresh, table lookups, and retries yourself - unbillable maintenance for an agency
How to Connect JetFormBuilder to Excel Online
Step-by-step setup guide
- 1
Install SheetLinkWP and Activate Your License
Download SheetLink Forms from WordPress.org or sheetlinkwp.com, activate, then paste your license key on the SheetLink -> License page. The Pro tier ($79/yr or $199 lifetime) unlocks JetFormBuilder support.
- 2
Enable the Extra Integrations Feature
Go to SheetLink -> Features and flip on Extra Integrations. SheetLink auto-detects JetFormBuilder and adds it as a sync-rule source. JetFormBuilder stores fields under the names you set in the block editor - use those exact names on the left side of the mapping.
- 3
Connect Microsoft
Go to SheetLink -> Destinations -> Excel Online and click Connect Excel. Sign in with a Microsoft 365 work or school account. The OAuth handshake runs through SheetLink's hosted broker - no Azure app registration, no client secret on your site - and your refresh token is encrypted at rest.
- 4
Create a Sync Rule with Excel as a Destination
Under SheetLink -> Sync Rules, add a rule with JetFormBuilder as the source, pick your workbook and table on OneDrive (existing Excel tables are detected automatically), and map each form field to an Excel column. Mirror into Excel alongside Google Sheets for free, or set Excel as the sole destination with the AI Pack's Primary Destinations mode.
- 5
Test and Verify
Submit a test entry and confirm the row lands in your Excel table within seconds. For a click-by-click walkthrough of the Excel connection, see sending WordPress form submissions to Excel Online.
SheetLinkWP Excel Features for JetFormBuilder Users
Native JetFormBuilder Detection
SheetLink hooks into JetFormBuilder's submission events directly - no webhook actions to wire, no filter code. Multi-step wizard data and calculated field results come through as the named fields you map.
Real-Time Microsoft Graph Delivery
Rows post straight from your WordPress server to Microsoft Graph and appear in a live workbook on OneDrive within seconds. Not a scheduled export, not a CSV - the workbook your client already opens.
Free Mirroring, Optional Excel-Only
Send each submission to Google Sheets and Excel simultaneously at no extra cost beyond your Pro license. Want Excel as the sole destination? That is Primary Destinations, part of the AI Pack at $29/mo.
UTM & Attribution
utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, gclid, fbclid, and msclkid are captured and appended to every Excel row automatically - the attribution Crocoblock funnels rarely carry into a workbook.
Unlimited Sync Rules
Route different JetFormBuilder forms to different workbooks or tables - one per client, one per campaign. No cap on rules.
Retry Queue
Failed deliveries retry automatically - 3 attempts at 15-minute intervals - with manual retry from the Retry Queue page. No submission silently vanishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which add-ons do I need?
The Pro tier ($79/yr or $199 lifetime), which unlocks JetFormBuilder as a source. Mirroring submissions into Excel alongside Google Sheets is included at no extra cost. Only if you want Excel Online as the sole destination - no Google Sheet at all - do you also need Primary Destinations, part of the AI Pack ($29/mo or $290/yr).
Is this a CSV export?
No. Each submission is written into an Excel Online workbook on OneDrive via Microsoft Graph the moment it arrives. There is nothing to download, and the workbook never goes stale.
Does it work with Microsoft 365 Business?
Yes. Microsoft 365 Business, Enterprise, and Education accounts all work. Personal Outlook.com accounts are not supported by Microsoft's Excel API. Connect once with Microsoft OAuth and pick your workbook.
Does SheetLink work with the free version of JetFormBuilder?
Yes. SheetLink hooks into JetFormBuilder's submission events regardless of whether you run the free or Pro version - you do not need JetFormBuilder Pro to reach Excel.
Do multi-step wizards and calculated fields come through?
Yes. A multi-step form submits once at the end, and SheetLink receives the full payload - including calculated field results - under the field names you set in the block editor. Map those names to Excel columns like any other field.
Can I run reports and dashboards on the data?
Yes. Because submissions land in a real Excel workbook, PivotTables and charts update as rows arrive - and Power BI can sit directly on the workbook for live lead dashboards.
