Step 2: Authorize Access

  1. Sign in with the Google account that has access to your spreadsheets.

The agent understands column headers and can filter, sort, and aggregate data conversationally.

Agent Instructions

Sample Conversation

Tips

  • Column headers matter — Use clear, descriptive headers. The agent reads them to understand the data structure.
  • Keep data clean — Consistent formatting helps the agent parse data accurately.
  • Use named ranges — If your sheet is complex, named ranges make it easier for the agent to find the right data.
  • Multiple sheets — You can connect multiple sheets to the same agent, each serving a different purpose (e.g., one for products, one for leads).
  • Formulas are respected — The agent reads computed values from formulas, not the formula text itself.

Troubleshooting

Next Steps

  • Gmail — Send follow-up emails after capturing leads.
  • Google Calendar — Book appointments from sheet data.
  • Custom Tools — Push sheet data to your CRM via API.
