TikTok is one of the most popular social networks in the world, with an endlessly scrolling feed filled with short, vertical videos. It allows you to unobtrusively and natively promote goods and services: you show the product in a video and achieve “soft” sales. In this article, we will tell you how to set up TikTok and Google Sheets integration to automatically transfer leads from a social network to tables for further processing.

If you use TikTok as one of your channels for advertising goods or services and the online application Google Sheets to collect data from potential buyers, maintain and store their database, you probably manually enter information about each lead from this social network into a table. Because of this, you have to be distracted, waste extra time and delay your response to the buyer, who, without receiving quick feedback, may change the decision to buy. Automating the transfer of lead data from one platform to another will greatly simplify your workflow and save time, which is considered the most valuable resource today.

By connecting both systems, you will increase not only your own productivity but also the productivity of your team. Our online connector, ApiX-Drive, will help you do this. Successfully setting up Google Sheets and TikTok integration will give you the opportunity to immediately receive the personal data of a new lead directly into the table, where you will automatically have a new row generated each time. Thus, you will no longer need to manually enter your client's first name, last name, phone number and other data. Your work process will be optimized, and the customer will be provided with quick feedback and a pleasant first impression of you.

How to Make TikTok + Google Sheets Integration

Almost any IT specialist can integrate TikTok with Google Sheets via the API. Have you already breathed a sigh of relief because you have decided to ask your colleague from the technical department to take care of this tomorrow? Or maybe, on the contrary, you are thinking about whom to invite from outside since your company doesn’t even have a system administrator? Take your time. Your colleague will most likely agree to help you, but it is unlikely that he or she will be able to do this within the next hour. Remember which resource is the most valuable? Inviting an outside professional involves additional financial costs, which can be quite significant. We offer you a solution to get what you need much faster and more economically – the ApiX-Drive online connector. With this service, you will set up the necessary connection yourself, spending just a few minutes. Its intuitive interface and operating principle, as well as our detailed instructions, will allow you to complete all the steps without any difficulty.

The working scheme of Google Sheets TikTok integration looks like this: “data source – online connector – data receiver.” The ApiX-Drive system monitors new leads on the social network around the clock and, as soon as they appear, sends them to your table. To create and launch such process automation, you only need to take a few simple steps. Let's start right now.
