A site owner posted on the WordPress forums that their CF7 to Google Sheets integration was dropping about a third of submissions. Email notifications were being sent. The submission was saved in the form plugin's database. But one in three never made it to the spreadsheet.
Another user confirmed the same pattern. A third user said it had worked perfectly for months and then started failing.
The GSheetConnector support team's reply: "There is a Google API limit of 300 requests per minute, and our maximum users are connected with the same API, therefore there is a chance to miss the form entry when the limit is exhausted."
