Connect Google Sheets
We register on the website of the ApiX-Drive service and go to your personal account. To create an integration, we have to set up a data source and a receiver. But first, let's create a new connection.
Select Google Sheets as the data source.
Our task is to unload new records from the spreadsheet, so at the stage of defining the action, select the “Get Rows (new)” item.
Connect the Google Sheets account to the ApiX-Drive system.
Login to Google Sheets.
Provide the ApiX-Drive service with the necessary access.
When the connected account appears in the list of available ones, select it.
Now you need to select the spreadsheet file, sheet and row from which to start loading the data.
The next step is to add conditions to filter the data that will come from the source. We skip this step, since we do not need data filtering.
We see an example of the data that will be uploaded from Google Sheets.
Source setup completed successfully.
Connect Autopilot
As a receiver, we choose the Autopilot marketing automation service.
Action — Add or Update Contact.
Now we connect the Autopilot account.
To connect the Autopilot service to the ApiX-Drive system, you must specify an API Key.

Now we return back to the ApiX-Drive system and fill in the API Key field.
The connected account appeared in the list of available ones. Select it and proceed with the setup.
Now select the list to which new contacts will be added on the side of the Autopilot service.
We need to define the data that will be sent to the Autopilot service. To do this, we use a drop-down list of variables obtained from Google Sheets.
