To set up the integration, first, create a new automation by selecting Google Sheets as your trigger app and the specific event that will trigger the automation, such as 'New Spreadsheet Row'.

Are there any limitations on data types when syncing between these apps?
While most standard text and number fields synchronize well between Google Sheets and Clay, be cautious with complex data types such as dropdown lists or checkboxes. These may require additional formatting or handling within your setup process.
