Yes, it is possible to collect form submissions from Webflow and automatically populate an Excel sheet. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Set up your form in Webflow: Create a form using the Webflow form builder. Add the necessary form fields and configure any validation or submission settings.

  2. Set up a third-party integration: To automatically populate an Excel sheet, you'll need to use a third-party integration service. Two popular options are Zapier and Integromat. We'll provide instructions for both:

    a. Zapier integration:

    • Sign up for a Zapier account (if you don't already have one).
    • Create a new Zap.
    • Choose Webflow as the trigger app and select the "New Form Submission" trigger.
    • Connect your Webflow account and select the specific form you want to collect submissions from.
    • Test the trigger to ensure it's working correctly.
    • Choose Excel as the action app and select the "Create Spreadsheet Row" action.
    • Connect your Excel account and select the specific spreadsheet you want to populate.
    • Map the form fields to the corresponding columns in your Excel sheet.
    • Test the action to ensure it's working correctly.
    • Enable the Zap and your form submissions will be automatically added to the Excel sheet.

    b. Integromat integration:

    • Sign up for an Integromat account (if you don't already have one).
    • Create a new scenario.
    • Choose Webflow as the trigger app and select the "Watch Form Submissions" module.
    • Connect your Webflow account and select the specific form you want to collect submissions from.
    • Test the trigger to ensure it's working correctly.
    • Choose Excel as the action app and select the "Add a Row" module.
    • Connect your Excel account and select the specific spreadsheet you want to populate.
    • Map the form fields to the corresponding columns in your Excel sheet.
    • Test the action to ensure it's working correctly.
    • Activate the scenario and your form submissions will be automatically added to the Excel sheet.
  3. Ensure data accuracy: It's important to regularly check the data being populated in your Excel sheet to ensure accuracy. You can also format the Excel cells or add formulas as needed to manipulate the data.

By following these steps, you can easily collect form submissions from Webflow and have them automatically populate an Excel sheet, saving you time and effort in manually transferring data.
