Entries Manager made syncing WordPress Form data seamless
If you’ve ever tried to Sync WordPress Form submissions, (entry data) into Google Sheets, you’ve likely faced a frustrating process. You install a plugin, only to find you need to navigate the dense, confusing terrain of the Google Cloud Console just to get a Client ID and Client Secret. This isn’t just a hurdle; it’s a wall that stops most users in their tracks. With our easy sync WordPress Forms (Advanced Entries Manager) addon, we made it much easier than you might have thought.
Even if you manage to get the data flowing, you’re often forced to install a second plugin just to save your form entries to your WordPress database. You’re left with a cluttered site and a disjointed workflow, needing one tool to store submissions and a completely different one to manage and sync them.
This two-plugin problem is a common frustration, but it doesn’t have to be your reality. We built Forms Entries Manager as the single, all-in-one solution that eliminates the hassle and gives you full control.
The Old Way: A Patchwork of Complicated Add-ons
Here’s how most users are forced to manage their form data today, using separate plugins for each core function:
- Saving Form Entries: You install a plugin like “Contact Form 7 Database Addon“ or “Database for Contact Form 7.” This is a necessary first step to save your data on your site. The problem is, this is all it does. You can’t add notes to an entry, mark it as a favorite, or sync it to a spreadsheet.
- Syncing to Google Sheets: To get your data into Google Sheets, you then install a separate “connector” plugin, such as “CF7 Google Sheets Connector“ or “WPSyncSheets for WPForms.“ This is where the real frustration begins. These plugins require you to manually set up a project, enable APIs, and generate a Client ID and Secret from the Google Cloud Console. This process is highly technical, time-consuming, and an unnecessary barrier to your workflow.
The New Way: Advanced Entries Manager — The One-Click Solution
Advanced Entries Manager replaces this entire, cumbersome workflow with a single, elegant plugin that works effortlessly for both WPForms and Contact Form 7. Our design philosophy is simple: your data management should be seamless, not stressful.
Our Google Sheets sync is the core of this philosophy. We don’t force you into the Google Cloud Console. We don’t ask for a Client ID or Secret. Our process is a completely hassle-free OAuth connection. You simply click a button, authorize access to your Google Account, and you’re done. The connection is instant, secure, and ready to go in seconds.
Beyond the hassle-free sync, our plugin is an all-in-one data management powerhouse:
- Internal Notes & Comments: Add private notes to any submission directly within your WordPress dashboard. This feature is perfect for tracking progress, leaving comments for your team, or noting key details.
- Real-Time, Manual, and Unsync: Get new entries in your Google Sheet the moment they are submitted with real-time auto-sync. Need to send a single, specific entry? Use our manual sync. And if you want to remove a synced entry from your sheet, our unique unsync feature gives you complete data control.
A Head-to-Head Comparison
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s a detailed comparison that shows exactly how Advanced Entries Manager outclasses the competition.
| Feature | Competitors (e.g., CF7 Database Addon + Google Sheets Connector) | Advanced Entries Manager (The One-Plugin Solution) |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Process | Highly Technical. Requires creating a project in Google Cloud, enabling APIs, and generating a Client ID and Secret. | Hassle-Free. A simple, one-click OAuth authorization. No Client ID, no Secret, no API knowledge required. |
| Plugin Count | Two or more separate plugins required for saving & syncing. | One plugin for both saving, managing, and syncing all your form data. |
| WPForms & CF7 | Requires a separate set of plugins for each form builder. | One plugin manages entries for both popular form builders. |
| Data Control | Limited. You can only sync new entries and cannot easily remove or unsync old ones. | Complete. Offers real-time auto-sync, on-demand manual sync, and the unique ability to unsync entries from your sheet. |
| Internal Management | Non-existent. You must manually create notes outside the plugin or use a different tool. | Robust. Provides a powerful dashboard where you can view entries, add internal notes, and use bulk actions. |
Stop settling for a complicated, fragmented workflow. Advanced Entries Manager is the unified solution that saves you time, reduces plugin overhead, and finally gives you a truly hassle-free Google Sheets sync.
