spreadsheetSend clean answers to Google Sheets.
Turn every submission into the handoff your team expects - an alert, a new record, a row, a task, or an automation - the moment someone hits submit.
- New website lead -> Google Sheets -> team follows up
- Application or file upload -> Google Sheets -> owner notified
- Feedback submission -> Google Sheets -> sorted and handed off
Authorize Formspring once with Connect Google account (OAuth). You choose the spreadsheet and worksheet tab; each clean submission becomes a new row via the official Google Sheets API (values.append). Your Formspring inbox stays the system of record, with Deliveries and Replay like any other integration.
What you get with Google Sheets.
- Append every submission as a new row-great for lightweight CRMs and ops queues
- OAuth keeps access scoped to spreadsheets you authorize
- Delivery logs and **Replay** when Google returns quota or permission errors
- Your Formspring inbox remains the searchable source of truth
Up and running in five steps.
- In Formspring, open your form → Integrations → Google Sheets.
- Click Connect Google account and complete Google’s consent (spreadsheet access).
- Paste the spreadsheet URL from your browser (it must include
/spreadsheets/d/…) and enter the tab name exactly as it appears on the tab strip. - Save, turn the integration on, then submit a test from the form.
- Open Deliveries for this integration and confirm Google returned 2xx; your sheet should show a new row.
Why teams connect Google Sheets
Each submission becomes a row in a spreadsheet you control-ideal for lightweight CRMs, ops queues, and shared visibility. Formspring calls Google’s Sheets API directly after OAuth; no third-party relay is required.
Reliability and retries
Formspring retries failed deliveries with exponential backoff (up to eight attempts over several hours). Each attempt appears in Deliveries with the HTTP status and response body. Use Replay after you fix the issue on the receiving side.
Security and auth
OAuth 2 with the spreadsheets scope grants Formspring access to spreadsheets the connected Google user can edit. Tokens are stored encrypted. Formspring does not send X-Formspring-Signature to Google-that header applies to generic webhooks only.
Row shape
The built-in integration appends a fixed column order (timestamp, ids, then sorted field values). The dashboard payload filter controls apply to generic webhooks, not to Sheets. For arbitrary columns or branching, add Make, Zapier, n8n, or a generic webhook alongside Sheets.
