Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Google Sheets, Grist, 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 Google Sheets and Grist integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Sheets and Grist (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Google Sheets and Grist

Grist + Google Sheets + Slack: When new records are created or updated in Grist, their data is added as a new row in Google Sheets. A summary of the added row is then sent to a specified Slack channel as a message.

Grist + Google Sheets + Airtable: When records are created or updated in Grist, they trigger the creation of a new row in Google Sheets. That new row in Google Sheets then creates a new record in Airtable for dashboarding purposes.
