What Is Google Sheets Integration in Formgent? #
With our Google Sheets integration, you can automatically send form submission data to your selected spreadsheet in real time — no manual entry required.
This integration helps automate workflows, maintain clean records, and improve data collection efficiency for business, education, or personal use.
Why We Request Access to Google Sheets and Google Drive? #
To enable this feature securely using Google OAuth 2.0, Formgent requests the following permissions:
Google Drive (drive.readonly) #
We use this scope to list your Google Sheets files so that you can select an existing spreadsheet. Without this access, Formgent would not be able to show you a list of available sheets.
Google Sheets (spreadsheets) #
We use this scope to:
- Append form submission data to the sheet you select
- Read headers from your sheet for field mapping
- Create new sheets if needed
Formgent only accesses the specific sheets you choose and does not view or edit any unrelated files. You can revoke access at any time from your Formgent settings.
