[What is Yoom]
How to Create a Workflow Integrating Google Sheets and Google Search
Let's actually integrate Google Sheets and Google Search using Yoom. This workflow can be set up in 3 steps.
Set up Google Sheets with an app trigger
Set conditions for the search
Configure the Google Sheets to be updated
To start the setup, click "Try it" from the banner below to copy the workflow!
Preparation
First, let's connect Yoom with each app. Once logged into Yoom, select "+ New Connection" from the "My Apps" menu on the left.
Enter the necessary information to log into Google Sheets and Google Search. An API token is required to register Google Search in My Apps.
Access the URL on the screen to obtain an API key with a few clicks. If the account information is entered correctly for each app, it will appear in the My Apps list, so please check.
Once the My Apps registration is successfully completed, the preparation is complete.
App Trigger Settings
First, click on the first flow "When a row is added". Check that the account information registered in My Apps during preparation is reflected.
No changes to the title and action are needed, so proceed to "Next" once the account information is confirmed.
On the next page, configure the detailed settings for the app trigger. A trigger is a function that checks at set intervals whether a predetermined action has occurred in the flow. (The time that can be set varies depending on the plan.)
Once the trigger activation interval and required fields are completed, click "Test" to check for any errors. If an error occurs, please refer to the link below.
Once all errors are resolved, press "Save" to complete the app trigger settings.
Settings for Searching with Google Search
Next, select the second "Get Search Results". As before, confirm the account information for Google Search registered in My Apps and click "Next".
On the next page, set up the search engine and search query. A search query is the word or phrase you enter when searching.
In addition to names such as company names, entering details such as location in the field will allow you to obtain more accurate information.
After entering each, click "Test" to check for any errors.
If there are no issues, select "Save" to complete the settings up to this point.
Settings for Updating Google Sheets
Let's set up the final flow "Update Record". On the first page, configure the details of the Google Sheets to be updated along with the account information.
Enter the correct spreadsheet ID and tab name. Set the table range only if necessary.
Once the necessary information is entered, select "Next" to proceed.
On the next screen, enter the detailed settings for updating the record. Change the conditions set in ① to the values specified in ②. The conditions for the record you want to update can be set in detail, so please apply what suits you.

Benefits of Integrating Google Sheets with Google Search
Integrating Google Sheets with Google Search allows you to allocate the time previously spent on research to other tasks, while efficiently gathering information.
Benefit 1: Leads to Effective Time Management
By integrating Google Sheets with Google Search, you can significantly reduce the time spent on information gathering. Typically, manually searching for information based on data compiled in Google Sheets requires a lot of effort and time. Especially for marketers and researchers, it is necessary to process a large amount of data while finding accurate and up-to-date information.
However, by using this integration, you can automatically search for and easily import the necessary information using data from Google Sheets. This greatly shortens the information gathering process, allowing you to allocate more time to other important tasks.
For example, it is possible to automatically research and compile information about competitor companies. While the flowbot is running, you can dedicate time to planning marketing strategies or new projects, potentially increasing the time available for important tasks that contribute to the company's revenue.
Benefit: Effectively Gather Only the Necessary Information
Integrating Google Sheets with Google Search automatically gathers only the necessary information based on specified keywords. When gathering information manually, unrelated data or unnecessary information can sometimes get mixed in.
By using this integration, it searches according to the set conditions, allowing you to accurately capture only the desired information. For example, when you want to research market trends in a specific region, setting the conditions will automatically gather information only related to that region, making research very efficient.
Conclusion
The integration of Google Sheets and Google Search is a convenient method to streamline information management and significantly reduce the time spent on research. By using Yoom, you can automatically perform Google searches based on data from Google Sheets and easily collect the necessary information. This eliminates the hassle of manual information gathering and allows you to focus time on other important tasks. It is a powerful tool for marketers and researchers to achieve operational efficiency and accurate data acquisition. With Yoom, you can achieve app integration without programming knowledge. Why not streamline your operations?
With Yoom, you can easily build the kind of collaboration described here without programming knowledge.
With five years of experience as an SEO writer, I continue to write with the motto of being "easy to read" and "easy to understand." I want to convey the convenience of Yoom, which allows app integration without programming knowledge, to as many people as possible!
