To automatically sync Google Sheets data to Clay, use Google Apps Script with a webhook.
Here's how:
1. Open your Google Sheet and go to Extensions > Apps Script
2. Create a script that sends data to a Clay webhook table
3. Set up time-based triggers to run the script hourly or daily
This creates automatic data flow from your Google Sheet to Clay whenever new rows are added. Note that this method works with passthrough tables, which is an enterprise feature.
For manual imports, you can download your Google Sheet as CSV and import it directly into Clay.

Is that the only way? Are there ways to Connect or Sync my Google Sheet with my Clay table?

No, there are actually multiple ways to connect Google Sheets with Clay:
For importing data FROM Google Sheets TO Clay:
Manual: Download as CSV and import
Automated: Use Google Apps Script with webhooks (enterprise feature)
For exporting data FROM Clay TO Google Sheets:
Use our native Google Sheets integration to add rows, lookup rows, or update rows
Set up automatic syncing where new Clay rows flow directly to your Google Sheet
The native integration creates a live connection - any new data you process in Clay can automatically appear in your Google Sheets. You just need to connect your Google account and map your columns.

Are webhooks and passthrough tables available on the Explorer Plan

Webhooks are available on the Explorer Plan. However, passthrough tables are only available on the Enterprise Plan.
So for your Google Sheets sync, you can use webhooks with the Explorer Plan, but you'd need to upgrade to Enterprise for passthrough tables.

How can I accomplish it with webhooks and without passthrough tables

You can use Google Apps Script to send data from your Google Sheet to a regular Clay webhook table (not passthrough). Here's how:
1. Create a webhook table in Clay: Click "+ Add" → search "Webhooks" → "Monitor webhook" → copy the URL
2. Set up Google Apps Script: In your Google Sheet, go to Extensions → Apps Script
3. Use the webhook script: The script will cycle through your Google Sheet rows and send each one to your Clay webhook URL
The key difference without passthrough tables is that your data will accumulate in Clay rather than auto-delete. You'll hit the 50,000 submission limit eventually and need to create a new webhook, but this gives you automated syncing on the Explorer Plan.
You can customize the script timing and which columns to send based on your needs.
