How to Find Your Google Sheet ID
A simple guide to locating your Google Sheet ID for APIs, automations, and Fabform.io integrations
1. Open Your Google Sheet
Start by opening the Google Sheet you want to connect to an API or service.
Your browser URL will look something like this:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AbCDefGhijkLMNOPqrstuVWxyz1234567890/edit#gid=0
2. Locate the Sheet ID in the URL
The Google Sheet ID is the long string of letters and numbers between /d/ and /edit.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/YOUR-SHEET-ID/edit#gid=0
Example Sheet ID:
1AbCDefGhijkLMNOPqrstuVWxyz1234567890
3. Copy the Google Sheet ID
Highlight and copy the ID. This is what you’ll paste into your integration settings, API request, or Fabform.io configuration.
4. Why You Need the Sheet ID
Tools like Fabform.io use your Google Sheet ID to:
- Send form submissions directly into your spreadsheet
- Read or update data in specific tabs
- Connect securely without full Google Drive access
5. Is It Safe to Share a Sheet ID?
Yes — the Sheet ID alone does not grant access to your spreadsheet. Access is controlled by Google’s sharing permissions.
Still, only share it with trusted services or teammates.
