Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form 7” and “form submissions” for “spreadsheet” and “google”. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spreadsheet” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “form submissions” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “google” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.6%
of downloads still active
At least 40K of 1.1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 19 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “contact form 7” and “form submissions” for “spreadsheet” and “google”. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spreadsheet” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “form submissions” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “google” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “form submissions”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I had difficulty with connecting another Google Sheet. Abdullah was the agent on duty and he was splendid in overcoming my difficulty. He had patience, excellent technical know-how and sorted all out for me very quickly.

The CF7 Google Sheet Connector team has been absolutely amazing. I ran into an issue that was blocking my integration, and their support team stepped in right away with clear guidance and patience. They didn’t just give generic replies — they actually took the time to understand the problem and helped resolve it efficiently. Their responsiveness and technical knowledge truly stand out. If you’re using Contact Form 7 with Google Sheets, this plugin is solid — and the support behind it is even better. Highly recommend

I initially experienced some issues, but Ahmed was more than eager to resolve them, and now everything is working perfectly.

Es la primera vez que utilizo el plugin, despues de ver varios tutoriales, no conseguía conectarlo con el google sheet. Una persona de soporte se ha conectado en mi WordPress y lo ha solucionado. Muy contenta

There’s a known issue with Google API Rate Limits, but every solution seems to be behind the paywall. So you’ll usually be missing ~5% of submissions from your Google Sheet due to a silent error.I receive the form submission by mail, and it’s stored on my DB, but it’s not added to the sheet. Zero warnings.This is NOT a “nice to have” feature. This is a critical issue, and means that the free version is broken and unreliable to an unacceptable degree.Do NOT trust it for anything minimally important. Always double check your email.

I needed compatibility with plugin “Multiline files upload for contact form 7” so users can send multiple images from one attachment field and the attachment urls are added in one Google Sheets cell. The compatibility was added very quickly and they also listened one of my improvement suggestion regarding the user experience.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ shockproofwp1.7y ago
Is a great plugin? Of course it is. Is making its job? Yes… but… sometimes, without any reason, it disconnects from Google. So, you stop receiving results, and you lose form responses. I think that maybe is a thing from WordPress (you know, an update and everything explodes)… but this means is not a safe option for a company (for example, for receiving leads).
