This automation reduces the effort and burden of manual registration, and is expected to facilitate information sharing between departments, significantly improving operational efficiency.
Additionally, with smooth reflection of order information, the data analysis team will be able to conduct analyses based on more up-to-date and accurate information.
This article introduces a no-code method to integrate ecforce with Google Sheets, so please refer to it.

Recommended for

  • Those using ecforce and Google Sheets
  • Those who want to automate manual data entry tasks by integrating ecforce and Google Sheets
  • Those who want to facilitate the sharing of order information between departments by integrating ecforce and Google Sheets
  • Those who want to efficiently aggregate accurate information by integrating ecforce and Google Sheets

Benefits and Examples of Integrating ecforce with Google Sheets

Benefit 1: Improved Operational Efficiency through Manual Work Reduction

By automatically adding ecforce order information to Google Sheets, you can reduce manual input tasks.
This automation saves time and effort, especially when there are a large number of orders, reducing staff burden and allowing resources to focus on important tasks.
For example, during periods of increased orders due to campaigns, employees may become overwhelmed with manual data entry tasks.
However, with integration, if order information is automatically registered, a significant improvement in operational efficiency can be expected.

Benefit 2: Smoother Information Sharing Across Multiple Departments

With order information automatically reflected in Google Sheets, multiple departments such as sales, logistics, and accounting can smoothly access the same data.
This allows department representatives to smoothly grasp the status and progress of orders, preventing information transmission errors and time lags.
For example, even in situations where there is a shortage of personnel in each department in small and medium-sized enterprises, if order information is shared automatically, unnecessary confirmations and reminder communications can be reduced.
As a result, even with a small team, inter-departmental collaboration is strengthened, and overall operational efficiency within the company is expected to improve.

Benefit 3: Improved Data Analysis Efficiency

By automatically aggregating order information in Google Sheets, analysis based on the latest order data becomes possible.
For example, you can check all the order data from the day a test marketing was conducted by the next day.
If entered manually, it may take several days for all the data to be compiled.
With rapid reflection of order data, test marketing data analysis can be conducted smoothly, potentially allowing for more efficient trend catch-up.

[About Yoom]

Next, we will introduce how to create a flowbot with Yoom, which allows app integration without programming, to "add order information registered in ecforce to Google Sheets."
You can implement it just by setting it according to the template, so please give it a try.

How to Create a Workflow for Integrating ecforce and Google Sheets

The workflow to integrate ecforce and Google Sheets using Yoom involves the following four processes:

  • Register ecforce and Google Sheets as My Apps
  • Copy the template
  • Set up the trigger in ecforce, which serves as the starting point of the flow, followed by the configuration of Google Sheets
  • Turn on the trigger button and verify the integration between ecforce and Google Sheets

Step 1: Integrate ecforce and Google Sheets as My Apps

First, register ecforce and Google Sheets in My Apps to integrate them with Yoom.

1. Select "My Apps" on the left side of the Yoom management screen and click "+ New Connection".

2. In the subsequent screen, search for ecforce and Google Sheets respectively and proceed to the next screen.

<For ecforce>

・Enter the account name, access token, and domain as instructed, and click "Add" to complete the registration in My Apps.
※ For instructions on obtaining the access token, please refer to this page.
※ ecforce is an app available only with the Team Plan and Success Plan. If you are on the Free Plan or Mini Plan, the operations and data connections set in the flow bot will result in errors, so please be cautious. Paid plans such as the Team Plan and Success Plan offer a 2-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use apps that are subject to restrictions.

<For Google Sheets>

・Click "Sign in with Google" on the above screen and select the account to be linked.

・Confirm the account to log in and click "Next".
