Overview
The Pabble × Google Sheets integration pushes each form submission as a new row in a spreadsheet of your choice • the moment it lands. No Zapier required, no manual exports, no stale data.
What Gets Synced
Every field in your form maps to a column in your sheet:
| Pabble Field Type | Google Sheets Column | | ----------------- | ---------------------- | | Short text | Plain text cell | | Long text | Plain text cell | | Dropdown / Radio | Plain text cell | | Checkbox (multi) | Comma-separated values | | File upload | Public file URL | | Date picker | ISO 8601 date string |
A submitted_at timestamp column is added automatically.
Setting It Up
Step 1 • Connect your Google account
Go to Settings → Integrations → Google Sheets and click Connect. You'll be prompted to authorize Pabble with read/write access to Google Drive.
Step 2 • Choose a spreadsheet
Pick an existing spreadsheet or let Pabble create a new one named after your form.
Step 3 • Map your fields
Pabble auto-maps fields to columns by label. You can rename or reorder columns directly in the mapping screen.
Step 4 • Go live
Hit Save. Every submission from that point forward will appear as a new row within seconds.
Common Use Cases
- Lead capture • pipe form responses into a sales tracking sheet
- Event registration • build an attendee list that auto-updates
- Research surveys • collect and analyze responses without manual data entry
- Internal requests • HR, IT, and ops teams keeping a live log of incoming requests
Limitations
- The integration syncs new submissions only • it does not backfill historical responses
- File upload fields sync as URLs, not as the files themselves
- Google Sheets has a 10 million cell limit; for high-volume forms consider exporting periodically
