Automatically Update Clay Table with New Google Sheets Rows
Is it possible to pull in all rows in a Google sheet into a clay table and every time a new row is added to the Google sheet, it would automatically update the clay table?
While we don't have a direct "pull all rows" feature, we can set up a system to sync data from Google Sheets to Clay. Here are two approaches: 1. Manual import: Download your Google Sheet as a CSV and import it into Clay. This method doesn't auto-update. 2. Automated sync: Use Google Apps Script with a webhook to send data to Clay. This can be set up to run automatically when new rows are added. For real-time updates, the webhook method is recommended. It allows you to send data from Google Sheets to Clay automatically. You'll need to set up a script in Google Sheets that sends data to a Clay webhook table. Remember, we call this feature "write to table" in Clay. If you need help setting this up, let me know, and I can provide more details.
Chico C.··Hey, I'm having the same issue as you. Looks like Clay don't have the power to Update rows like a mirror. You are just allowed to add new rows, not to update then.
We don't have a direct "mirror" feature to automatically update existing rows in a Clay table based on changes in a Google Sheet. However, we can use our "write to table" feature to update data in Clay from Google Sheets. Here's how you can approach this: 1. Use the
Lookup, Add, or Update Rowaction in our Google Sheets integration. 2. This action allows you to search for a specific row using a column and value. 3. If a match is found, you can update the existing row with new information from Google Sheets. To set this up: 1. Add the Google Sheets enrichment to your Clay table. 2. Choose theLookup, Add, or Update Rowaction. 3. Configure the lookup column and value. 4. Set it to update rows when matches are found. This method will update your Clay table when run, but it won't automatically mirror real-time changes from Google Sheets. You'll need to trigger the update manually or set up an automated schedule.- Chico C.··
Yeah, with that you can update Google Sheets rows based on Clay, but the opposite it's not possible. I think that what's Malik wants is to update Clay's table based on a Google Sheet. Truely it's possible to add new rows on Clay based on Google Sheet, but if you change any value in Google Sheets, it'll not "update/mirror" the new value on Clay. Instead it'll create a new row.
Currently, we don't have a direct feature to automatically update existing rows in a Clay table based on changes in a Google Sheet without creating new rows. However, you can use our "write to table" feature with the "Lookup, Add, or Update Row" action in the Google Sheets integration to achieve a similar result. Here's how you can set it up: 1. Add the Google Sheets enrichment to your Clay table. 2. Choose the "Lookup, Add, or Update Row" action. 3. Configure the lookup column and value. 4. Set it to update rows when matches are found. This method will update your Clay table when run, but it won't automatically mirror real-time changes from Google Sheets. You'll need to trigger the update manually or set up an automated schedule.
