How to Send Form Data to Google Sheets with Node.js
Forward your Express form submissions to Google Sheets using Form2Sheet
Building a Node.js backend with Express? Form2Sheet lets you skip the database setup entirely. Just forward your form data to our API and it goes straight to Google Sheets, complete with email notifications.
Step 1: Prerequisites
The first step in integrating Form2Sheet is to subscribe either monthly or yearly.
Then, go to https://form2sheet.com and create your first
spreadsheet.
(Email received after creating a spreadsheet)
Step 2: Building Your Node.js Form Handler
Set up an Express server that receives form submissions and forwards them to Form2Sheet using the Fetch API. Make sure to replace the $API_URL with the one you received
in your email (check your spam folder as well).
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.post('/submit', async (req, res) => {
const formData = new URLSearchParams(req.body);
await fetch('', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
res.redirect('/thanks.html');
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000'));
Step 3: Submitting the Form
In the GIF below, you can see how after submitting the form you check the results in
your Spreadsheet.
Besides that, you and the respondent will receive a confirmation email with the data
submitted.
And that's is! Simple as that. Aditionally, you can create Unlimited Spreadsheets, customize the Thank You page, add as many Custom Form Fields as you want and remove the Form2Sheet branding from the emails.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You can now go ahead and publish your custom form. It is now
ready to start collecting responses. With
Form2Sheet, the process is streamlined, and you can focus on obtaining valuable data
without
the hassle of complicated setups.
