Next.js Form to Google Sheets

If you’re building a Next.js application and need to capture form submissions, Heysheet provides a seamless way to send data from your React components to a Google Sheet. This guide will show you how to set up a form in your Next.js app to send data to Google Sheets.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Heysheet account.
  • A Next.js project set up.
  • A Google Sheet to store your form submissions.

​
Step 1: Create a Heysheet Endpoint

  1. Log in to your Heysheet account.
  2. Create a new form and select Google Sheets as the destination.
  3. Connect your Google account and choose your target sheet.
  4. Copy the generated form endpoint URL.

​
Step 2: Create a React Form Component

Here is an example of a simple contact form component in a Next.js application. This component will send the form data to your Heysheet endpoint. 
// components/ContactForm.js

import { useState } from 'react';

export default function ContactForm() {
  const [submitted, setSubmitted] = useState(false);

  const handleSubmit = async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    const data = new FormData(event.target);

    try {
      const response = await fetch('YOUR_HEYSHEET_ENDPOINT', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: data,
      });

      if (response.ok) {
        setSubmitted(true);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error submitting form:', error);
    }
  };

  if (submitted) {
    return <p>Thank you for your submission!</p>;
  }

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <label htmlFor="name">Name:</label>
      <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required />

      <label htmlFor="email">Email:</label>
      <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required />

      <label htmlFor="message">Message:</label>
      <textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>

      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
  );
}
Replace YOUR_HEYSHEET_ENDPOINT with your Heysheet form endpoint URL.

​
Step 3: Add the Component to Your Page

Now you can import and use the ContactForm component in any of your Next.js pages. 
// pages/contact.js

import ContactForm from '../components/ContactForm';

export default function ContactPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Contact Us</h1>
      <ContactForm />
    </div>
  );
}
