Explaining How to Integrate Google Sheets and kintone Without Using GAS to Facilitate Data Transfer
If you use Google Sheets and kintone in your daily work, you've probably thought at least once that it would be great if the information between them could be automatically updated!
However, some of you might have hesitated because you thought it required difficult programming knowledge.
With Yoom, there's no need for the complicated settings of GAS.
Simply follow the steps to enter the necessary information for account integration, and you'll quickly complete the integration between Google Sheets and kintone.
Please take a look for reference!
What is GAS?
GAS stands for Google Apps Scripts, a programming language provided by Google.
While it offers the advantage of integrating apps provided by Google, it has the disadvantage of being difficult to handle without a certain level of programming knowledge.
Let's delve into the advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of Using GAS
[Advantages]
- No need to prepare an environment
- Easier to learn compared to other languages
There are programming languages like HTML and Python, but GAS is overwhelmingly easier to understand and learn compared to other languages, which is a major advantage.
Additionally, since you can directly input code into the browser, not needing to prepare an environment is another advantage.
Disadvantages of Using GAS
[Disadvantages]
- Takes time to set up if you have zero programming knowledge
- Dependent on Google
Even though it's easy to learn, the biggest disadvantage is that it's challenging to set up for those with zero programming knowledge.
Moreover, since it's a feature provided by Google, there's a risk that if Google withdraws, all your settings could disappear, so caution is needed.
If you could create apps without using GAS, which requires some programming knowledge and is dependent on the platform, and easily integrate with other tools... wouldn't that be ideal?
What is kintone?
kintone is the name of a cloud service provided by Cybozu.
You can create apps necessary for business tasks like customer management and schedule management without writing code.
What Can Be Achieved by Integrating Google Sheets and kintone
By integrating kintone and Google Sheets, you can efficiently proceed with daily business tasks.
Automatically updating and visualizing each data set makes it easier to analyze later.
Benefits of Integrating Google Sheets and kintone
Integrating Google Sheets and kintone offers many benefits in business operations.
- Centralized data management
- Easier to check for omissions and deadlines
- Customizable without programming skills
For those who handle a lot of information in their daily work, centralized data management alone can be a significant advantage.
The more tools you use, such as communication tools, data management tools, and tools used by each company, the more burdensome it becomes to manage them.
With kintone, you can also facilitate communication and create apps necessary for information management without programming knowledge.
By integrating with spreadsheets, you can consolidate all information into one and share it with each party.
Utilize kintone's reminder function to set up notifications when data is imported into Google Sheets.
If you set the cell to turn red for "X days until the deadline" and yellow for "the day before the deadline," managing deadlines becomes easier.
What Can Be Done by Integrating kintone with Google Sheets?
Here are some examples of what can be done by integrating kintone with Google Sheets.
- Extract records that meet certain conditions and save them to Google Sheets
- Automatically update kintone sales data into Google Sheets
- Export from kintone quotes to Google Sheets
The main use is to consolidate data collected from kintone into Google Sheets.
By consolidating data into Google Sheets, it becomes easier to visualize with tables and graphs, making it easier to share and improving work efficiency.
What Can Be Done by Integrating Google Sheets with kintone?
Here are some examples of what can be done by integrating Google Sheets with kintone.
- Automatically register content entered in spreadsheets into kintone apps
- Aggregate content recorded in multiple sheets into kintone at once
If you distribute the same sheet to multiple parties and automatically aggregate each piece of information into a kintone app, you can easily consolidate information without having to check each one.
