Customer Data Synchronization to Google Sheets
This workflow automatically extracts information from the customer data repository, formats it, and synchronizes it to Google Sheets for efficient data management. Field adjustments are made through the "Set" node to ensure the data meets requirements, avoiding errors that may occur during manual operations. This process addresses the issues of scattered customer data and inconsistent formatting, making it suitable for marketing and customer service teams. It helps them update and maintain customer information in real-time, enhancing data accuracy and operational efficiency.
Workflow Name
Customer Data Synchronization to Google Sheets
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automatically extracts all customer information from the customer data repository, formats the data accordingly, and then adds or updates the records in a specified Google Sheets spreadsheet, enabling efficient data synchronization and management. The “Set” node is specifically used to standardize field names and content, ensuring the data format complies with Google Sheets requirements and preventing errors caused by manual adjustments.
Core Problems Addressed
Customer data is often scattered and inconsistently formatted, which can lead to issues such as field mismatches and data redundancy when importing directly into Google Sheets. This workflow automates the process to unify data formats and supports update operations, effectively resolving the complexity and repetitive labor involved in data synchronization, while improving data accuracy and timeliness.
Application Scenarios

- Organizations aiming to reduce manual data maintenance through automation to enhance operational efficiency.
Main Process Steps
- Manually trigger the workflow execution.
- Retrieve all customer information from the customer data repository.
- Use the “Set” node to adjust field names (e.g., rename “name” to “Full name”), remove irrelevant fields, and add a “Created time” timestamp.
- Perform an upsert operation via the Google Sheets node to write the processed data into the specified spreadsheet range (A:C).
