Send Kali Forms leads to Google Sheets
Pair Kali Forms' beginner-friendly builder with LeadToSheet to automatically push submissions (file uploads, payments, and digital signatures included) into a Google Sheet.
CMS: WordPress
Overview
Kali Forms is designed for WordPress beginners who need drag-and-drop simplicity with advanced extras like payment processing, SMS notifications, and digital signature fields. LeadToSheet extends Kali Forms by creating a persistent record of every submission in Google Sheets, giving you searchable, filterable data that is easier to work with than WordPress admin tables.
Implementation checklist
- 1
Add the LeadToSheet script to your site
Paste the snippet into your theme footer or use a header/footer plugin. No Kali Forms configuration changes are needed.

Submit a test with a file upload and signature
Kali Forms stores uploaded files and digital signatures on your WordPress server. LeadToSheet captures the URLs pointing to those files, giving your team clickable links in the spreadsheet.
Tip: Digital signature fields generate an image file. The URL to that image is what appears in your sheet.

Verify payment field capture
If your form includes Stripe or PayPal fields, submit a test payment. LeadToSheet records the payment status and amount alongside the rest of the form data.
Customization ideas
Track SMS notification delivery
Kali Forms can send SMS on submission. Add a hidden field noting the SMS recipient number so your sheet links each entry to its notification target for follow-up tracking.
Archive signed documents
Digital signature URLs in Sheets let you build an Apps Script workflow that copies signed images to Google Drive folders, creating an automated document archive.
Payment reconciliation dashboard
With payment amounts and statuses landing in Sheets, build a pivot table that reconciles form payments against your Stripe or PayPal dashboard for end-of-month reporting.
Troubleshooting
File upload URL showing as empty
Kali Forms processes file uploads server-side. If the upload fails due to file size limits or disallowed extensions, no URL is returned. Check your WordPress media upload settings and Kali Forms file field configuration.
Digital signature field not appearing in sheet
Ensure the signature field has a unique name attribute set in the Kali Forms editor. Without a distinct name, the field may merge with other data or be excluded from the submission payload.
Payment forms redirecting before capture
Some payment gateways redirect users to an external page. LeadToSheet captures form data before the redirect occurs, but confirm the redirect happens after submission, not during field validation.

Frequently asked questions
- Will LeadToSheet capture Kali Forms' conditional logic fields?
- Yes. Only fields visible at the time of submission are included. Hidden conditional fields are excluded, keeping your sheet clean.
- Does the digital signature transfer securely?
- LeadToSheet stores only the URL pointing to the signature image on your server. The actual image never passes through our infrastructure.
- Can I sync Kali Forms submissions alongside other form plugins?
- Yes. LeadToSheet captures submissions from any HTML form on the page. If you use multiple form plugins, all of them sync to your sheet with the same script.
