Google Sheets + SurveyAnalytica
Real-time row appends of survey and workflow data, sheet-update triggers, and Sheets as a readable data source.
Sheets is the most-used integration across SurveyAnalytica's shipped flow templates. Workflows append records as rows the moment they happen — creating the spreadsheet and header row automatically — while sheet updates can trigger flows in return via Google Drive push notifications, and any sheet can be read as a flow or scheduled data source.
Workflow triggers
Sheet updated
Google Drive push notifications fire a flow when a connected spreadsheet changes.
Scheduled reads
Use a sheet as a scheduled data source — poll and process rows on your cadence.
Read as flow input
Full-range reads make sheets usable mid-flow for lookups and joins.
Workflow actions
Append rows
Records are appended via the Sheets API; the spreadsheet and header row are created automatically if missing.
Read values
Full-range reads for downstream steps.
Live schema
Column schemas are fetched at designer load, so field mapping matches the real sheet.
How data flows
Outbound: survey responses, webhook payloads, social interactions, Shopify orders and document-AI results append as rows in real time. Inbound: sheet updates trigger flows and sheets read back as data sources.
Connection: Google OAuth 2.0 with automatic token refresh.
Worked example: Every response in a sheet your team already uses
Trigger: a survey response arrives.
Action: append respondent fields, scores and timestamps as a row — the sheet and headers are created on first run.
Trigger (reverse): an analyst edits a triage column in the sheet.
Action: the sheet-update trigger runs a follow-up flow for rows marked 'contact'.
Ready-made flow templates
Install a shipped template and adapt it — no build-from-scratch required.
Setting it up
1.
Connect Google via OAuth from Account → Integrations.
2.
Add a Sheets action to a workflow and pick (or auto-create) the spreadsheet.
3.
Map fields — the designer loads live column schemas.
4.
Optionally wire the sheet-update trigger for the reverse direction.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to create the spreadsheet first?
No — the append action creates the spreadsheet and header row automatically if they don't exist.
Can a Google Sheet trigger a workflow?
Yes — Drive push notifications fire the sheet-update trigger when the file changes.
Can flows read from Sheets, not just write?
Yes — full-range reads work mid-flow, and sheets can be scheduled data sources.
What lands in the sheet besides survey responses?
Anything a flow carries: webhook payloads, social interactions, Shopify orders, and document/media AI analysis results all have shipped templates.
