Input Forms for Sheets™

Turn Google Sheets™ into a Real Data-Entry Application 🚀

See our Privacy Policy.

Core Purpose: Input Forms for Sheets™ is a Google Workspace™ add-on that reads your active spreadsheet to find attached Google Forms™ and embeds them into a sidebar and modal UI for quick, in-sheet data entry.

Your team already uses Google Sheets™ and Google Forms™. Now, you can combine them into a single, secure, and streamlined workspace. Input Forms for Sheets™ works instantly with your existing Google Forms™ - with zero rebuilding, zero migration, and zero complex setup. The add-on automatically detects every form linked to your spreadsheet, allowing users to open and submit them directly inside Google Sheets™.

💡 The paradigm shift: Instead of exposing raw response sheets and editable rows, you can present your team with a clean, app-like interface. Data entry happens through guided, validated forms while your spreadsheet's formulas and structure stay 100% protected.

Your spreadsheet stops looking like a spreadsheet - and starts behaving like a secure application.

✨ Key Features

• 🔌 Works with Your Existing Forms: No need to recreate your forms or alter your workflow. The add-on auto-discovers every Google Form™ linked to your spreadsheet and lists them in a convenient sidebar.

• 🖥️ Embed Forms Inside Sheets: Open any linked form in a clean, responsive popup. Users stay focused on their active tab instead of constantly switching between browser windows.

• 📊 Build App-Like Dashboards: Completely hide raw, messy "Form Responses" sheets. Let your users interact only with clean dashboards, visual reports, and summary pages while they input data through the sidebar.

• 🛡️ Bulletproof Formula Protection: Prevent accidental edits to complex formulas, formatting, calculated columns, and tab structures. Every new entry is cleanly appended through Google Forms™ validation.

• ⚡ One-Click Data Entry: Launch any linked form instantly. Submissions are processed in real-time and automatically populate the correct destination sheets.

• 🔑 Simple Admin Controls: Keep your configuration locked. Only the spreadsheet owner and the user who customized the sidebar can edit the panel's layout. Everyone else gets a consistent, read-only interface.

🛠️ Perfect For:

• 📦 Inventory & Asset Tracking: Keep stock logs clean and accurate.

• 💳 Expense & Mileage Reporting: Streamline team submissions without exposing financial sheets.

• 📋 Project & Task Management: Quickly log issues, updates, and tasks.

• 👤 Client Intake & CRM Leads: Input prospect data during live calls.

• 🔧 Maintenance & Service Logs: Let field workers submit logs without viewing the master database.

• 💼 Internal Business Tools: Create customized, single-purpose apps for your business workflows.

💎 Pricing & Free Tier:

Input Forms for Sheets™ is completely free to start - no subscription required! The free version allows you to link and embed up to 2 Google Forms™ per spreadsheet, making it perfect for standard use cases. If your workflow requires more forms, you can easily unlock unlimited access by purchasing a premium subscription [on this page]. 

⚠️ Important Note: To ensure premium features are correctly applied to your document, the subscription must be registered specifically to the Spreadsheet Owner's email address.

🔒 Data Transparency & Permissions: 

To provide this functionality, the add-on requires specific permissions, which are used strictly as follows: 

• Spreadsheet Access: The add-on only reads the structural metadata of your active spreadsheet (specifically, sheet tab names and linked Form URLs) to generate the sidebar buttons. It does NOT read, extract, analyze, or export the actual cell data (your responses or personal information). 

• User Information: The add-on checks your email address locally solely to determine if you are the spreadsheet owner or designated admin, which is required to display the "Customize" button. Your email is not stored on external servers. 

• User Interface Display: This permission is required to render the custom add-on interface inside Google Sheets™. It allows us to generate the interactive sidebar and safely open the popup modal windows where your forms are displayed. 

• External API Connection: The add-on connects to our secure external server strictly to manage and verify subscriptions. If you choose to unlock premium features after testing, this connection checks your active subscription status. We absolutely do not transmit your spreadsheet contents, form responses, or user data through this connection.

Why choose Input Forms for Sheets™?

Whether you are managing a small team, running a warehouse, or building a custom internal solution, this add-on bridges the gap between raw data storage and a user-friendly interface. Enjoy the power of Google Sheets™ with the safety and simplicity of an app.
