Frequently Asked Questions about Google Sheets + Instantly integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Sheets and Instantly

How do I connect Google Sheets to Instantly?

You can connect Google Sheets to Instantly by using our platform's integration setup. This involves selecting Google Sheets and Instantly as your apps and setting up your desired trigger and action events, such as new row creation in Sheets triggering an email campaign in Instantly.

What triggers can I use from Google Sheets for the integration?

When integrating with Google Sheets, you can use triggers such as 'New Spreadsheet Row' or 'Updated Spreadsheet Row' to automatically initiate actions in Instantly like starting a new campaign.

Can I update a contact list in Instantly from Google Sheets?

Yes, you can update a contact list in Instantly using the 'Updated Spreadsheet Row' trigger from Google Sheets. When a row is updated, we can configure the integration to automatically update the contact details in your Instantly account.

How do actions work between Google Sheets and Instantly?

In our integration setup, an action is what occurs in response to a trigger. For example, if you set a trigger for 'New Spreadsheet Row' in Google Sheets, you might configure an action like creating a new contact or launching an email campaign in Instantly.

Is it possible to pull data from multiple sheets within one spreadsheet?

While our integration typically handles one worksheet at a time per task setup, you can create multiple tasks to pull data from different sheets within the same spreadsheet individually into Instantly.

What should I do if my data isn’t syncing properly between Google Sheets and Instantly?

Ensure that your triggers (like 'New Spreadsheet Row') are correctly configured and that all required permissions are granted for both applications. You may also need to check that all field mapping is aligned properly between Google Sheets and Instantly.

Can I automate sending follow-up emails using the integration with Google Sheets?

Yes, by configuring specific triggers such as changes or additions of rows in your sheet, you can automate follow-up emails where updates on customer interactions within the spreadsheet initiate personalized campaigns through Instantly.

Practical ways you can use Google Sheets and Instantly

Log campaign activity in Google Sheets.

When activity occurs in Instantly, such as a lead opening an email or unsubscribing, Zapier logs the event in Google Sheets. This automation provides a consolidated view of campaign performance metrics, reducing manual tracking efforts and offering actionable insights in real-time.

Business Owner
Track email openings in real time.

When a lead opens an email in Instantly, Zapier automatically records this event in a Google Sheets row. This makes it easy to analyze open rates and optimize email campaigns based on data trends.

Marketing & Marketing Ops
Sync lead status updates to Google Sheets.

When a lead's status changes in Instantly, Zapier updates this information in Google Sheets. This enables the sales team to have an up-to-date record of lead progress without having to manually transfer data, improving productivity and pipeline visibility.
