Google Sheets as a source
You can create a data pipeline that loads data from Google Sheets to a target.
Supported account types
Designer and Classic Manager provide multiple account types for most endpoints and not all types are compatible with AutoSync. When you create or edit a data pipeline, the existing credentials list includes only compatible accounts.
The Account type supported for Google Sheets is:
- Spreadsheet OAuth2 Account
Known limitations
- If Preserve datatypes is unchecked, all data from Google Sheets are extracted as strings.
- When using Preserve datatypes, the values under each column must have the same datatype.
- Selecting the Preserve datatypes checkbox may impact performance.
The
time
data type cannot be preserved and will be converted to a fragment of the day. For example,12 PM
will be converted into0.5
.
Connection configuration
Google Sheet properties include the following:
- Credential label: A unique, meaningful name such as
Accounting-Google-Spreadsheet
. If a configuration with the same name exists, AutoSync displays anAsset conflict error message
. - Authorize: Authorizes Autosync with your Google Account. After you log in to your Google account, you will be asked to provide access permission. Access is required to make a connection.
- Share: (Optional) Select a user group to share this configuration with. Environment admins (formerly Org admins) create user groups to share credentials. If you are a member of a user group, you can select it from the dropdown. You can also select the global shared folder, which shares the credentials with everyone in your Org.
- Validate and save: After saving, AutoSync adds the configuration to the list of saved credentials.
- Select spreadsheet: After configuring a destination, choose the spreadsheet to load.
- Select tables to synchronize: Choose tables to synchronize. AutoSync populates the list from your Google Sheets account.
- Select the checkbox to preserve the data types of your tables.
