How to connect Creatomate and Google Sheets
Create a New Scenario to Connect Creatomate and Google Sheets
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Creatomate, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Creatomate or Google Sheets will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Creatomate or Google Sheets, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Creatomate Node
Select the Creatomate node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the Creatomate
Click on the Creatomate node to configure it. You can modify the Creatomate URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Google Sheets Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Creatomate node, select Google Sheets from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Google Sheets.

Authenticate Google Sheets
Now, click the Google Sheets node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Google Sheets settings. Authentication allows you to use Google Sheets through Latenode.
Configure the Creatomate and Google Sheets Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Creatomate and Google Sheets Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Creatomate, Google Sheets, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Creatomate and Google Sheets integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Creatomate and Google Sheets (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Creatomate and Google Sheets
Google Sheets + Creatomate + Slack: When a new row is added to a Google Sheet, Creatomate renders a video from a specified template using the row's data. Once the video is rendered, a Slack message is sent to a designated channel, notifying the team of the new video's availability.
Google Sheets + Creatomate + Airtable: When a new row is added to a Google Sheet, Creatomate renders a video. Upon completion, the video's link and associated data from the Google Sheet row are added as a new record in Airtable, creating a centralized video library.
