Sync live exchange rates to Google Sheets for accurate invoicing

This workflow automates the process of fetching live currency exchange rates from the ExchangeRate API and updating a Google Sheet with the latest values, ensuring accurate currency conversions for finance teams, analysts, and anyone working with spreadsheets who needs up-to-date exchange rate data. It retrieves the rates daily, stores the latest data in a 'Rate Sheet' tab, and archives historical records in an 'Archives' tab, all without requiring any manual intervention or code writing.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

Setup guide

1

Add Exchangerate API Key

Add your Exchangerate API key in the Latenode Secrets panel. Then reference this secret in the HTTP Request node to authenticate the API calls.

2

Connect Google Sheets API

Add a Google Sheets credential in the Latenode Credentials panel by connecting your Google account via OAuth2. This will allow the workflow to securely access and update your Google Sheet.

3

Map Google Sheet Columns

In the Google Sheets nodes, map the fields from the API response to match the column layout of your 'Rate Sheet' and 'Archives' tabs in the Google Sheet. This ensures the data is populated correctly in your spreadsheet.

4

Customize Google Sheet Layout

Ensure your Google Sheet has two tabs named 'Rate Sheet' and 'Archives' to match the workflow. Optionally, format the sheet with your preferred styles and formatting.

5

Schedule the Workflow

Use the Cron node to schedule the workflow to run daily at your desired time (e.g. 8:00 AM). This will automatically fetch the latest exchange rates and update your Google Sheet on a recurring basis.

Requirements

Obtain an API key from the ExchangeRate API provider
Authorize the workflow to access the Google Sheets 'Rate Sheet' and 'Archives' tabs
Ensure the Google Sheets document and necessary tabs are set up in advance
Configure the workflow to fetch exchange rates daily and update the 'Rate Sheet' tab automatically
