This plugin provides integration between <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/" rel="ugc">Contact Form 7</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/sheets/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Sheets</a>. 
It adds new processor to Contact Form 7 that enables sending of submitted forms to Google Sheets.
<h4>Connecting the Plugin to Google Sheets</h4>
After installing the plugin you must go to it’s Settings screen and create application credentials needed to establish connection with Google Sheets. All instructions are provided in the Settings screen.
After successfully creating application credentials and uploading them (i.e. completing steps 1 and 2), you will see Client ID and Client Email that represent your instance of “Google Sheets for Contact Form 7” plugin. You will need to share your sheets with Client Email (as Editor role) to grant “Google Sheets for Contact Form 7” plugin permissions to edit them.
<h4>Using the Plugin</h4>
After successfully connecting the plugin to Google Sheets, do the following to configure your Contact Form 7 to send data to Google Sheets on form submission.
In Google Sheets
<ul>
<li>Create a new Google Sheet</li>
<li>Switch to the tab where you want to capture the data</li>
<li>
Determine Sheet ID and Tab ID from the sheet’s URL that looks as follows: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/sheet-id/edit#gid=tab-id
For example, for URL https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/142XLjqRCpr7iWldfARhSS_GiFoy4l5RqZfSD6RHXM64/edit#gid=0 Sheet ID is “142XLjqRCpr7iWldfARhSS_GiFoy4l5RqZfSD6RHXM64” and Tab ID is “0”
</li>
<li>
Enter “datetime” in the the first column if you want to capture time and date of submission
</li>
<li>There is no need to enter names for other columns – they will be automatically added upon form submission</li>
<li>Share the sheet with Client Email that represents your instance of “Google Sheets for Contact Form 7” plugin – as Editor role</li>
</ul>
In Contact Form 7
<ul>
<li>Open your contact form</li>
<li>Switch to Google Sheets tab</li>
<li>Configure Sheet ID and Tab ID and click Save</li>
<li>Submit a test form and verify that the data shows up in your Google Sheet</li>
</ul>
<h4>Automatic Header Generation</h4>
The plugin verifies spreadsheet header on each new form submission and adds new fields to it if needed. Note that it never deletes fields from the header – as this would also delete some submission data – though you can do it manually. You may also manually reorder columns as you wish.
<h4>Capturing Submission Metadata</h4>
In addition to the datetime and regular form fields, you may also capture Contact Form 7 <a href="https://contactform7.com/special-mail-tags" rel="nofollow ugc">special mail-tags</a>. In order to do so, add manually corresponding headers to your spreadsheet. Remove square brackets and first underscore from the tag name, and replace remaining underscores with dashes. For example, add remote-ip header to capture [_remote_ip] mail-tag.
<h4>Integration with “Contact Form 7 Database Addon – CFDB7”</h4>
If you use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-cfdb7/" rel="ugc">Contact Form 7 Database Addon – CFDB7</a> to save your submissions, you will also be able to resend already submitted forms to Google Sheets. This may be useful if something went wrong during initial form submission and/or someone deleted data in Google Sheets by mistake. In order to do so, in CFDB7 plugin, choose your form, open specific submission and click Send to Google Sheets button.
<h4>Acknowledgements</h4>
Initial version of this plugin was inspired by <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-google-sheets-connector/" rel="ugc">CF7 Google Sheets Connector</a> plugin.
However it’s implementation is quite different:
<ul>
<li>it uses service principle for authentication with Google Sheets</li>
<li>it has completely different and much more reliable sheets update logic</li>
<li>it implements automatic header generation, to ensure that no submission data is lost</li>
<li>it supports capturing submission meta-data</li>
<li>it provides integration with CFDB7 plugin for forms re-submission</li>
</ul>

Sheet Monkey is the easiest and most secure way to connect any form to Google Sheets and with this plugin it now works for Contact Form 7. As we looked at the options for connecting CF7 to Google Sheets, they all seemed too complicated and risky, storing sensitive Google Credentials in your WordPress database.
We built this to be:
<ul>
<li>Simple: It shouldn’t take multiple steps to send your form data to Sheets. </li>
<li>Secure: By handling the connection in Sheet Monkey’s cloud and not on the WordPress host, you protect your Google credentials from hackers and malicious plugins. </li>
<li>No Adware: The plugin shouldn’t be constantly bugging you to upgrade.</li>
</ul>
To connect your form to Google Sheets, you just need to configure a form in Sheet Monkey and copy the Sheet Monkey form URL to your form config screen in WordPress.
