Google Sheets

Celonis does not warrant the availability, accuracy, reliability, completeness, or usefulness of any information regarding the subject of third-party services or systems.

With Google Sheets modules in Boost.space Integrator, you can manage rows, cells, sheets, spreadsheets, values, and conditional formats in your Google Sheets account.

To use Google Sheets with Boost.space Integrator, you must have a Google account. If you do not have one, you can create one at accounts.google.com. To use instant trigger modules, you must have the Boost.space Integrator Google Sheets extension.

Refer to the Google Sheets API documentation for a list of available endpoints.

Connect Modules Using the Google Account Sign In

To connect Google Sheets to Boost.space Integrator, you must first connect your Google account.

1. Log in to your Boost.space Integrator account, add a Google Sheets module to your scenario, and click Create a connection.
2. Optional: In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.
3. Click the Sign in with Google button and select your Google account.
4. Review the access information and click Allow.

You have successfully established the connection. You can now edit your scenario and add more Google Sheets modules. If your connection requires reauthorization at any point, follow the connection renewal steps here.

Set Up Google Sheets Webhooks

Caution: The Make Google Sheets Add-on is currently not available because of Google’s restrictions, and the following procedure should be followed to use the Perform a Function and Watch Changes instant modules.

To use the Google Sheets Perform a Function or Watch Changes instant modules, you must first paste a script and your module’s webhook address into your spreadsheet. Follow the steps below to do so.

To set up the webhook:

1. Log in to your Boost.space account, add either the Perform a Function or Watch Changes module to your scenario, and click Create a webhook or Add.

2. Optional: Enter a name for the webhook in the Webhook name field.

3. Click Save.

4. Next you will paste a script into your spreadsheet. Click here to access the script and copy the entire content.

5. Open the spreadsheet and go to Extensions > Apps Script. You will see a new project containing default content.

6. Delete the default content and paste the script you copied in Step 4. This script must be updated with the webhook address from your Google Sheets module.

7. To obtain the webhook address, go back to your scenario, click on the module, and click Copy address to clipboard.

8. Now return to the Apps Script project in your spreadsheet. At the beginning of the script, you will see the lines WATCH_CHANGE_WEBHOOK_URL = 'https://hook.eu1.make.com/xxx'; and PERFORM_FUNCTION_WEBHOOK_URL = 'https://hook.eu1.make.com/xxx';.

9. Depending on the module you are using, replace https://hook.eu1.make.com/xxx with the webhook address you copied in Step 7.

   Caution: It is important to paste the full webhook address into the script to avoid any errors.

10. Click the Save icon.

11. In the left sidebar, click the Triggers icon.

12. Click Add Trigger.

13. In the Select event type field, select On edit, and click Save.

14. If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.

The Perform a Function or Watch Changes module will now send data through the webhook when the selected event occurs.

Did you know?

You can find over 100 predefined Google Sheets sample templates here.

After connecting the app, you can perform the following actions:

Triggers

Watch Rows

Retrieves values from every newly added row in the spreadsheet.

The module retrieves only new rows that have not been filled in before. The trigger will not process an overwritten row.

Connection

Establish a connection to the spreadsheet using your Google account.

Choose a Method

Select a method to choose the spreadsheet whose rows you want to watch.

Choose a Drive

Select Google Drive, where you have the spreadsheet whose rows you want to watch.

Spreadsheet ID

Choose the Spreadsheet ID whose rows you want to watch.

Spreadsheet

Select the spreadsheet that contains the sheet you want to watch.

Table contains headers

Select whether the spreadsheet contains the header row. If the _Yes_option is selected, the module doesn’t retrieve the header row as output data, and variables in the output are then called by the headers. If the _No_option is selected, the module retrieves the first table row, and the output variables are called simply A, B, C, D, etc.

Row with headers

Enter the range of the header row, e.g., A1:F1.

Value render option

Formatted value

The values in the reply will be calculated and formatted according to the cell’s formatting. Formatting is based on the spreadsheet’s locale, not the requesting user’s locale. For example, if A1 is 1.23and A2 is =A1 and formatted as currency, then A2 will return "$1.23".

Unformatted value

The values will be calculated but not formatted in the reply. For example, if A1 is 1.23 and A2 is =A1 and formatted as currency, then A2 will return the number "1.23".

Formula

The values will not be calculated. The reply will include the formulas. For example, if A1 is 1.23 and A2 is =A1 and formatted as currency, then A2 will return "=A1".

Date and time render option

Serial number

Instructs date, time, datetime, and duration fields to be outputted as doubles in “serial number” format, as popularized by Lotus 1-2-3. The whole number portion of the value (to the left of the decimal) counts the days since December 30th, 1899. The fractional portion (to the right of the decimal) counts the time as a fraction of the day. For example, January 1st, 1900 at noon would be 2.5. 2 because it’s 2 days after December 30th, 1899, and .5 because noon is half a day. February 1st, 1900 at 3 pm would be 33.625. This correctly treats the year 1900 as not a leap year.

Formatted string

Instructs date, time, datetime, and duration fields to be outputted as strings in their given number format (which depends on the spreadsheet’s locale).

Limit

Set the maximum number of results that Boost.space Integrator will work with during one execution cycle.

Watch Changes

This module watches for changes in all the cells of a spreadsheet. It means that when you update numerous cells in one row, one by one, Boost.space Integrator will then receive multiple updated events.

Webhook

Establish a connection to the spreadsheet using the Make.com add-on.

Perform a Function

Boost.space Integrator allows you to use the custom function MAKE in Google Sheets similarly to built-in functions like AVERAGE, SUM, etc. It allows you to perform the function in Boost.space Integrator and return the result back to the sheet. The function MAKE accepts as many parameters as you need.

Perform a Function Example

Sample sheet

The Total – EUR amount SUM will be converted, according to the current exchange rate, to the Total – USD amount and will be inserted into the desired field using Boost.space Integrator.

1. Create a scenario. Use the following modules:

   • Google Sheets > Perform a Function
   • Currency > Convert an Amount between Currencies
   • Google Sheets > Perform a Function – Responder

   

   1. Google Sheets > Perform a FunctionGenerate a webhook and paste it into the Make.com add-on in Google Sheets.

      

   2. Currency > Convert an Amount between CurrenciesConverts the mapped EUR amount to USD.

      

   3. Google Sheets > Perform a Function – ResponderInserts the converted amount into the sheet cell.

      

2. Run the scenario

3. Enter the MAKE function into the desired cell to load the converted amount.

   

   When the user changes the amount, the MAKE function re-calculates the Total – USD according to the current exchange rate:

   

How to perform a custom function?

You can simply use the function like built-in functions in Google Sheet.

Create a new scenario with the following modules:

• Perform a Function – the module receives the parameters passed to the function
• Perform a Function – Responder – the module returns the result of the function execution back to the sheet

Tips & Tricks

Deleting Multiple Rows

To delete multiple rows based on filter criteria use the Search Rows module linked to the Delete a Row module as on the following example:

1. 1. Add the Search Rows module and Delete a Row module to the scenario.

   

2. Let’s assume that you have a table where you need to delete all rows where column A equals to Y.

   

3. Open Search Rows module settings and set the fields as follows:

   Filter

   A Equal to Y

   Sort order

   Descending

   Order by

   Row number

   

Make sure that Sort order and Order by fields are set as above, otherwise, values will not be deleted correctly from the table!

4. Add the Delete a Row module to the scenario and connect it to the Search Row module.

5. Map the Row number item from the Search Rows module to the Delete a Row module’s _Row number_field.

   

6. Run the scenario to delete values that match the filter criteria from the sheet.

   

How to Get Empty Cells from a Google Sheet

Use the Search Rows (Advanced) module & use this formula to get empty columns.

select * where E is null

Here “E” is the column & “is null” is the condition. You can create a more advanced query using Google Query Lang

Add a Custom Button in a Sheet to Trigger a Scenario

1. In Boost.space Integrator, insert the Webhook > Custom webhooks module/trigger into the scenario and configure it (see Webhooks).

2. Copy the webhook’s URL.

3. Execute the scenario.

4. In Google Sheets, choose Insert > Drawing… from the main menu bar.

5. Click the Text box icon:

   

6. Design a button and click Save and Close in the top-right corner:

   

7. The button will be placed in your worksheet. Click the three vertical dots in the button’s top-right corner:

   

8. Choose Assign script… from the menu.

9. Enter the name of your script (function). For example, runscenarioand click OK:

   

10. Choose Tools > Script editor from the main menu bar.

11. Insert the following code:

    • The name of the function must correspond to the name you specified in step 9.

    • Replace the https://hook.make.com/xxx...xxxURL with the webhook’s URL you copied in step 2.

      function runScenario() {   UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://hook.make.com/xxx...xxx"); }
      

      plaintext

12. Press Ctrl+S to save the script file, enter a project name, and click OK.

13. Switch back to Google Sheets and click your new button.

14. Grant the required authorization to the script:

    

    

15. In Boost.space Integrator, verify that the scenario has successfully executed.

Storing Dates in a Spreadsheet

If you store a Date value in a spreadsheet without any formatting,

it will appear as text in ISO 8601 format in the spreadsheet. However, Google Sheets formulas or functions that work with dates do not understand this text. E.g. formula =A1+10 will display the following error:

To help the GS to understand the date, format it with the formatDate(.) function. The correct format passed to the function as the second argument depends on the spreadsheet’s locale settings. Choose File ▶ Spreadsheet settings from the main menu to verify/set the locale:

Once you have verified/set the proper locale, determine the corresponding date and time format by choosing Format ▶ Number from the main menu. The format is displayed next to the Date time menu item:

The following example shows the use of M/D/YYYY HH:mm:ss format for the United States locale:

Exploiting Google Sheets Functions

If you miss a built-in function but it is featured by Google Sheets, you may exploit it.

Posting and Getting Images from Google Sheets

When getting an image from Google Sheets, first make sure you enter the image as a formula. For example:=IMAGE("https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MPV2METPeJU/maxresdefault.jpg") making use of the =IMAGE(…)

After you have done so, open the Google Sheets module (e.g. Watch Rows, Search Rows, Get a Cell) and select the Show advanced settings. Then select the Formula option in the Value render option_field._

The output will be as shown below:

Then you can extract the URL using the replace function.        The output will be just the URL.

To be able to post an image, make sure to enter the =IMAGE(...) formula that will be used in the cell and then enter the Image URL address.
