Google Sheets and Airtable Integration: Automatic Transfer of New Rows

Google Sheets is one of the most popular spreadsheet tools that helps with organizing and analyzing business data and tracking progress on projects. Airtable is a multifunctional cloud service that combines the capabilities of databases and spreadsheets for high-quality teamwork. If you're an active user of both platforms, you'll certainly be interested in learning how you can speed up and optimize your work with them. To achieve this goal, you just need to automate the process of transferring data between systems. In this article, we will tell you how to set up Google Sheets and Airtable integration and thus automate the process of transferring new data.

The main business benefits that come from automating the transfer of data from Google Sheets to Airtable are:

Once set up, the integration between Airtable and Google Sheets via ApiX-Drive will immediately enhance your workflows. New entries in tables (for example, data on leads) will be automatically, without your participation, transferred to the Airtable database. This will save you from having to manually process each line. This automation will significantly streamline your operations, improve customer interactions, and speed up feedback, giving you an advantage over competitors who are not yet using advanced commerce practices.

To set up Google Sheets + Airtable integration, you don't need to learn programming or understand the intricacies of the API. All necessary actions are performed by our online connector, ApiX-Drive. Its functionality allows systems to be linked easily and quickly. The intuitive interface and ease of interaction with the service make the setup process accessible and understandable even for inexperienced users. In addition, detailed instructions in text and video format are provided to help.

The first step is registration on the apix-drive.com website. After this, you can start setting up Airtable + Google Sheets integration.

To set up the Google Sheets integration with Airtable, create a new connection. For this, click on the green button.

Select the data source system. It is Google Sheets. Click “Continue”.

Choose the action "Get ROWS (new)". Click “Continue”.

Connect your Google account to ApiX-Drive. For this, click on the button “Sign in with Google”.

Specify the login of your Google account. Click “Next”.

Specify the password of your Google account. Click “Next”.

Here, be sure to check all the access boxes. Click “Continue”.

Click on the button “Select file”.

Select the file from which you will receive new rows and confirm your choice by pressing the button “Select”.

When the connected login appears in the list of active accounts, select it and click "Edit and continue".

Now, you see the selected file to which we have given access. Select the sheet.

Here, you see the "Start Data Loading with Row Number" field. Enter the row number from which you want to start uploading. In this case, there are 2 rows in my table and I want to pass the second row. 

We specify the number 2. Then, click “Edit and continue”.

You can set up a data filter. In this case, there is no need for this, so just click "Continue".

Now, you see the data that is in the row that you selected in the settings. If you are satisfied with everything, click "Continue".

Setting up the Google Sheets data source has been successfully completed.

To set up the Airtable integration with Google Sheets, click on the green button “Start Configuring Data Destination.

Specify the password of your Airtable personal account. Click “Sign in”.

Provide ApiX-Drive access to work with your Airtable databases. To achieve this, click "Add a Base". We recommend providing access to all databases at once if you intend to work with them in the future.

When all databases are selected, click “Grant access”.

When the connected login appears in the list of active accounts, select it and click "Continue".

Select the base in which new rows will be created and choose the table.

Here, you see the Airtable fields for creating new rows. Assign variables from Google Sheets to these fields. To do this, click the field you need and select the appropriate variable from the drop-down list.

When all required fields are filled in, click "Edit and continue".

Now, you see an example of the data that will be transferred to Airtable as new rows for each new row from Google Sheets. If you are not satisfied with anything, click “Edit” and correct these points. To test how the integration works, click “Send test data to Airtable”.

After successful sending, go to Airtable and check the result.

If you are satisfied with everything, return to ApiX-Drive and continue setting up.

Setting up Airtable as a data destination has been successfully completed.

In order for data transfer to occur automatically, configure auto-update. Click on the green button “Enable update”.

Click on the gear button.

Select the interval for the operation of the connection. For example, once every 5 minutes. Moreover, here you can change the name of the integration and assign it to the desired group. Click “Continue”.

That's all. Integration was completed. You have done this. Great job!
