Using Quiz and Survey Master Google Sheets Connector Addon you can save the Quiz and Survey Master quizzes/survey results, user contact information, individual question points score, responder’s IP Address, and the corresponding user comments (if any) directly to the Google Spread Sheets. It is a very convenient way of saving and preserving data without manually copying and pasting it.
Once you set up the integration addon the data is automatically updated 24×7 as and when the quiz/survey is taken by the respondents.

From there, upload the zip file that you downloaded when downloading the addon. Once the addon has been uploaded, you should now have the plugin QSM – Google Sheet Connector listed in your list of plugins. Activate that plugin. Once activated, the addon will add a new tab in the Addon Settings labeled “Google Sheets”.

Then copy the code which is like 155nWYcesaayQxu2LkwpkBQKrIwRJ2YdVvJ8NZpb145UVcw and paste it into the Google Sheet ID field.
And, in the Google Sheet Tab Name field enter the Sheet Tab Name which in this case is “Sheet1“.
If you want to save only the contact information select “Yes” else keep it as it is and hit the Save Settings button.
