For teams and individuals who juggle data and project management across AITable.ai and Google Sheets, achieving seamless data sync can seem like a daunting task. But with the advent of automation, this challenge transforms into an opportunity.
AITable.ai enables you to leverage connectors and automate data syncing between platforms in just a few simple steps. In this article, we will delve into methods to synchronize data between AITable.ai and Google Sheets, leveraging the power of automation.
AITable.ai: Simplifying Workflow Automation
AITable.ai stands at the forefront of workflow automation, boasting a visual database that connects to over 6,000 apps via Albato, Zapier, Make, Pabbly, and Activepieces. Each of these connectors supports various triggers and actions, allowing you to build diverse workflows in tandem with other software tools.
Let’s explore three distinct ways to automate data sync between AITable.ai and Google Sheets.
Syncing Data with the ‘Create Records’ Trigger
The ‘Create Records’ trigger is a common feature supported by AITable.ai’s connectors. It initiates a workflow once a new record is added in AITable.ai, facilitating quick information synchronization with Google Sheets. Let’s use Albato as an example to illustrate how this workflow is built.
Firstly, create a new automation in Albato. Select AITable as the first application, and ‘New Record’ as the trigger. Associate your AITable.ai account and select the space station and corresponding datasheet you wish to sync.
Next, select Google Sheets as the second step. Choose ‘Create/update a row’ as the event, and match the corresponding AITable fields to the Google Sheets columns in the settings panel.
After successfully testing this workflow, you can publish it.
Data Sync through the ‘New Form’ Trigger
AITable.ai supports bi-directional conversion between forms and tables. So, when a form is submitted, a new record is automatically created in the table. You can leverage this feature to sync data with Google Sheets using the ‘New Form’ trigger. Let’s use Zapier as an example this time.
Just like before, create a new Zap in Zapier. Choose AITable.ai as the first application and ‘New Form’ as the event. Associate your AITable.ai account and select the space station and corresponding datasheet.
Next, select Google Sheets and choose ‘Create Spreadsheet Row’ as the action. Again, match the corresponding AITable fields to the Google Sheets columns in the settings panel.
After a successful test, you can publish this workflow.
Utilizing Webhooks for Data Sync
If you seek a more flexible and controllable data sync method, mastering the use of webhooks is essential.
First, ensure you have a selection field (including the ‘sync’ option) in your AITable.ai datasheet for data sync triggering. Then, build an automation related to ‘Send Web Request’ in AITable.ai, ensuring participant information can be received by Make.com.
Set the trigger as ‘Record Matches Conditions’, initiate the trigger when the status changes to ‘sync’, and select ‘Send Web Request’ as the action. Fill in the required information accordingly.
Next, create a new Scenario in Make.com, select webhook as the first module, choose ‘Custom Webhook’, and generate a URL to be filled into the automation settings in AITable.ai.
After a successful data capture test, choose Google Sheets as the next module in Make.com. Connect your Google Sheets account, fill in the AITable.ai field variables in the corresponding columns in the settings panel.
After a successful test, you can publish this workflow.
