With the QSM Google Sheets Connector Addon, you can effortlessly save quiz and survey results, user contact details, individual question scores, responder IP addresses, and any accompanying comments directly to Google Spreadsheets. This provides a convenient and efficient way to store and manage data without the need for manual copying and pasting.
Once you set up the integration add-on, the data is automatically updated 24×7 as and when the quiz/survey is taken by the respondents.
Installation/Setup
Once you have purchased the addon, you will have access to download the addon. To install, upload the addon as a normal WordPress plugin from the Plugins page.
From there, upload the zip file that you downloaded. Once the addon has been uploaded, you should have the plugin Google Sheet Connector listed in your list of plugins. Once activated, the addon will add a new tab in the Add-ons tab in a quiz labeled “Google Sheets”.
You can refer to this documentation for a detailed guide on how to install the QSM add-ons.
Settings/Configure
To configure the Addon, first enter your license key. Enter your license key from your QSM account into the “Manage License Key” section on the “Google Sheet Connector” settings in the Installed Add-ons under the Extensions tab in the QSM option from the side-panel.
Note that the addon won’t work without a valid license key. You can add the License Key from Addon Settings and also from Addon Options inside the individual quizzes/surveys.
Once the license key is validated, you need to Authorize the Google Sheet Connector so that the Google Sheets is connected with the QSM.
For this, you must first click the “Authorize” button besides the Google Access Code and allow the access for QSM to use Google Sheets, linking the Google account of your choice.
Once the authorization process is completed, you’ll be redirected back to the QSM page. And you’ll see the “success” confirmation message dialogue box.
After this, head on to your Quiz/Survey, edit one of the quiz or survey and navigate to the Add-ons > Google Sheets.
