How to Send Typeform Responses to Google Sheets Automatically
Form responses pile up fast when you’re running surveys, collecting leads, or gathering feedback. Manual copy-and-paste from Typeform into spreadsheets eats up time that could be spent analyzing results and making decisions.
The good news is that you can automate this entire process. Setting up an automatic connection between Typeform and Google Sheets means every new response lands directly in your spreadsheet without you lifting a finger.
This approach works whether you’re handling customer feedback surveys, event registrations, or lead generation forms. Once you automate the data flow, you can focus on what the responses tell you instead of wrestling with data entry.
TL;DR: Stop switching between platforms to track responses.

Step-by-step: Send Typeform responses to Google Sheets automatically
Time needed: 2 minutes
This simple workflow connects your Typeform directly to Google Sheets, so every response automatically creates a new row with all the submitted data. You’ll have real-time visibility into responses without manually checking Typeform or copying data between platforms.
- Step 1: Connect your Typeform
When someone submits your form, MESA instantly captures all their responses along with submission details like timestamps. This creates a complete record that’s ready to be organized exactly how you need it.
- Step 2: Add the row to Google Sheets
Each response automatically creates a new row in your designated Google Sheet with all the form data properly formatted. Your sheet stays up-to-date in real-time, giving you instant access to responses as they come in.
- Step 3: Turn on and test
Turn on the workflow and run it once manually to verify:
• New responses appear as rows in the correct Google Sheet
• All form fields map to the right columns
• Timestamps and other metadata are captured properly
Once confirmed, the workflow will run automatically every time someone submits your form.

Tips for successful Typeform to Google Sheets automation
1. Set up your Google Sheet structure first
Create your destination spreadsheet with proper column headers and formatting before connecting your automation. Include columns for all the data you want to capture, plus extras like submission date, response status, or follow-up notes. Having the right structure from the start means your automation can begin working immediately without manual cleanup.
2. Handle multiple choice responses consistently
When your Typeform includes multiple choice questions, dropdown menus, or rating scales, decide how you want this data to appear in Google Sheets. You can capture the exact response text, convert ratings to numbers for calculations, or separate multiple selections into different columns. Consistent formatting makes your data easier to analyze and filter later.
3. Use response logic to route data intelligently
If you collect different types of responses through the same form, you can route them to different sheets or sections based on the answers provided. For example, customer inquiries could go to one sheet while job applications go to another, all from the same Typeform but organized automatically based on response content.

Reasons to connect Typeform responses to Google Sheets
Turn your forms into a living database. Google Sheets becomes your single source of truth when responses flow in automatically. You can sort, filter, and manipulate data as it arrives without waiting for exports or downloads. This matters when you need to make quick decisions based on the latest responses or when multiple people need access to the same dataset.
Create instant reports for stakeholders. When responses populate Google Sheets automatically, you can build charts, pivot tables, and summary views that update in real-time. Share these sheets with team members or clients who need visibility into form performance without giving them access to your Typeform account.
Feed other tools with form data. Google Sheets acts as a data hub that connects to countless other applications. Once your Typeform responses land in Sheets, you can easily pull that data into CRM systems, email marketing tools, or project management software through their built-in Google Sheets integrations.
Preserve data beyond Typeform limits. Free and lower-tier Typeform plans restrict how many responses you can store or view. By automatically copying responses to Google Sheets, you maintain access to all your historical data regardless of plan limitations or account changes.
Enable collaborative analysis. Multiple team members can work with the same response data simultaneously in Google Sheets. Add comments, create calculations, or build additional columns for scoring and categorization while the original responses remain untouched in Typeform.

Frequently asked questions
You can connect Typeform to Google Sheets using automation platforms like MESA, which handles the technical setup for you. Simply create an automation that triggers when a new Typeform response is submitted, then specify which Google Sheet should receive the data. The automation maps your form fields to the correct columns and transfers responses in real-time without any manual work on your part.
Yes, you can send responses from multiple Typeforms to a single Google Sheet. Set up separate automations for each form, all pointing to the same destination sheet. You’ll want to include a field that identifies which form each response came from, so you can easily distinguish between different surveys or forms when analyzing your data.
All response data from your Typeform gets transferred, including answers to each question, submission timestamps, and respondent information if collected. You can also include metadata like the respondent’s completion time or which device they used. The automation maps each form field to a specific column in your Google Sheet, so you maintain organized, structured data that’s ready for analysis.
