FormFroggy Setup Guide: From Install to Your First Sync
This is the complete setup guide for FormFroggy. By the end of this post, your Gravity Forms will be syncing to Google Sheets in real time. The whole process takes about two minutes.
What you need before starting
- A WordPress site with Gravity Forms installed and at least one active form
- A FormFroggy account (start a free trial at formfroggy.com)
- Admin access to your WordPress dashboard
You don't need a Google account, OAuth tokens, or any API credentials. FormFroggy handles the Google Sheets connection on its end using a service account. Your data goes into a Sheet that is automatically shared with your email address.
Part 1: Set up your FormFroggy account
Go to formfroggy.com and click Start Free Trial. Fill in your name, email, and password. No credit card is required for the trial. Once you create your account, you'll land on the dashboard.
The dashboard has four tabs: Overview, Sites, Download, and Billing. You'll work through Sites and Download during this setup.
Part 2: Add your site
Click the Sites tab. Enter your WordPress site URL (for example, https://example.com) and an optional site name. Click Add Site.
FormFroggy creates a Google Sheet for that site right away. You'll see an Open Sheet button appear once it's ready. Click it to confirm your Sheet exists. It will be shared with the email address you used to sign up.
Part 3: Download and install the plugin
Click the Download tab. Click Download Plugin to get the zip file.
In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins, then Add New, then Upload Plugin. Choose the zip file and click Install Now, then Activate Plugin.
Part 4: Configure the plugin
Once the plugin is active, find FormFroggy in your WordPress admin sidebar. You'll see a settings screen with two fields: License Key and a list of your Gravity Forms.
Copy your license key from the FormFroggy dashboard (it's on the Overview tab). Paste it into the license key field in WordPress. Then check the boxes next to the forms you want to sync. Save your settings.
Part 5: Test your sync
Submit a test entry using one of the forms you selected. Open your Google Sheet. Within a few seconds, you should see the submission appear as a new row. The columns match your Gravity Forms field labels, and each form gets its own tab.
You're done
FormFroggy will now automatically sync every form submission to your Sheet. You don't need to touch any settings again unless you want to add forms or change sharing settings.
Troubleshooting
If the test submission doesn't appear, check these things first: Is the license key entered correctly with no extra spaces? Is the site URL in FormFroggy matching your WordPress site URL exactly? Is Gravity Forms active and the form receiving submissions? If you're stuck, email info@formfroggy.com and we'll help.
