Google Sheets
Databases & spreadsheets
Read and write spreadsheet rows from your workflows.
Overview
The Softr Google Sheets integration lets your app read from and write to any Google Sheet you own or have access to. Add new rows when users submit forms, look up records to display in member dashboards, update data when statuses change, and clean up stale entries automatically — every change happens in real time as people use your Softr app.
Google Sheets fits naturally into Softr workflows wherever you'd otherwise need a database: lightweight CRMs, signup logs, internal request trackers, exportable reports, and member-facing portals backed by a sheet your team already maintains.
Available actions
- Add rowAppend a new row to a Google Sheet whenever a user submits a form, signs up, or triggers a workflow in your Softr app.
- Get rowLook up a single row by a matching value to display its data in a Softr block or use it in the next workflow step.
- Get rowsRetrieve multiple rows from a sheet — filtered or in full — to power lists, dashboards, and reports inside your app.
- Update rowFind a row by a matching value and update its fields when a record changes, a status moves forward, or a member edits their profile.
- Update rowsApply the same update across multiple matching rows in one step, ideal for bulk status changes or batch corrections.
- Delete rowRemove a single row from a sheet when a user cancels, a request is resolved, or stale data needs to go.
- Delete rowsClear out multiple matching rows at once to keep your sheet tidy after bulk actions or scheduled clean-ups.
