When a row is added in Google Sheets, add text to a page in Notion.
How to Create a Workflow for Integrating Google Sheets and Notion
Now, let's create a flow bot that "adds text to a page in Notion when a row is added in Google Sheets."
Instead of creating a flow bot from scratch, you can use a template where the flow is already set up as shown in the image above, allowing you to create a flow bot quickly!
First, let's connect Yoom with each app. This is called "My App Integration." Integrating Google Sheets and Notion with My App is very easy!
My App Integration
Select "My Apps" from the menu on the left side of the Yoom management screen! ↓ Let's start by integrating Google Sheets with My App. Click on New Creation in the top right! Enter "Google Sheets" in the search box, and when the Google Sheets icon appears, click on it!
On the Select Account page, click on the Google account with the Gmail address to be integrated with Yoom! Next, you'll be taken to the Log in to Yoom page, so press Next. Finally, if a page appears saying Yoom is requesting additional access to your Google account, press Continue to proceed! ↓ Next, let's integrate Notion with Yoom. Click on New Creation in the top right! Enter "Notion" in the search box, and when the Notion icon appears, click on it. ↓
You'll be taken to a screen like the one above, so press "Select Page." Select the page to be integrated with Google Sheets and click on Grant Access to complete the integration!
With this, the My App integration of Google Sheets and Notion is complete! Now that both apps are integrated with Yoom, let's proceed to the flow bot settings.
Click on "Try it out" below and copy the template.
When a row is added in Google Sheets, add text to a page in Notion.
Click on "My Project" on the left side of the screen, then select "Add text to a page in Notion when a row is added in Google Spreadsheet"! Click on Edit in the top right corner.
↓
First, prepare the Google Spreadsheet to be linked with Notion and enter the items in advance.
This time, we created a Google Spreadsheet to accumulate sales as shown in the image. Once the Google Spreadsheet is created, proceed to the next step. ↓ Go to My Project in Yoom. Click on "When a row is added" under the Google Spreadsheet icon. Since the necessary items are already entered using the template, just make sure the account information is correct. Click Next! ↓
Scroll down the screen, set the trigger interval, and configure the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet ID. First, enter the Spreadsheet ID. Click inside the box to display a list as shown in the image, and select the Google Spreadsheet you want to link with Notion. Once the Spreadsheet ID is set, you can also select the Sheet ID, so choose the Sheet ID you want to link with Notion.
* You can choose trigger intervals of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. The shortest trigger interval varies depending on the plan. Generally, a shorter setting is recommended. ↓
Other required items depend on the prepared Google Spreadsheet, so enter them according to the content of the Google Spreadsheet. Once you fill in the boxes, press Test just below, and if "Test Successful" is displayed in blue, press Save. That's it for the Google Spreadsheet settings!
Notion Settings
Click on "Add text to a page" under the Notion icon. Again, since the necessary items are already entered using the template, just make sure the account information is correct.
Press Next.
↓
Enter the Notion page ID where you want to transfer the Google Spreadsheet data. The Notion page URL is formatted as https://www.notion.so/PageID, so you can just copy and paste it! ↓
The next setting is the last one! Let's decide what content to transfer to the Notion page.
Click inside the box, and the content of the Google Spreadsheet you tested earlier will be displayed. Click to add the content you want to notify! Adding things like ":" can make it more readable. Feel free to try it out!
Press Test, and if "Test Successful" is displayed in blue, save it.
Finally, turn on the trigger to complete the setup.
This concludes the integration of Google Spreadsheet and Notion. Well done! Yoom offers many other flowbot templates, so be sure to check them out.

1. Automatically Transfer Data Added to Google Sheets to Notion!
When a row is added in Google Sheets, you can automatically add text to a page in Notion! This eliminates repetitive data entry tasks, reducing the workload.
Additionally, when entering data manually, human errors such as typing mistakes are inevitable. By automatically transferring data, you can reduce such errors, thereby improving data accuracy!
2. Save Time!
For example, in marketing where speed is crucial, the ability to automatically share information between the two tools is a significant advantage. Moreover, while Google Sheets excels in data analysis and management, Notion allows for creative uses.
Therefore, you can leverage the strengths of each tool in your projects, such as managing market research data in Google Sheets and summarizing advertising strategies in Notion based on that data.
However, re-entering data already inputted in Google Sheets into Notion becomes a repetitive task, lacking speed. In such cases, app integration like this is highly effective!
Conclusion
By integrating Google Sheets with Notion, you can seamlessly edit and share data! Reducing the back-and-forth between different tools and minimizing data entry tasks can enhance productivity.
By using Yoom, you can integrate without any coding, so take this opportunity to create a flowbot!
With Yoom, you can easily build the kind of collaboration described here without programming knowledge.
After working as a manager at a general store, I began working from home as an SEO writer. Later, I entered into a freelance contract with a marketing startup for about five years. Surrounded by University of Tokyo students, I spent my days learning various business terminologies and how to use SaaS tools. During my time as a store manager, I was often overwhelmed by administrative tasks such as sales and inventory management, personnel management, and ordering, which frequently prevented me from engaging with customers and caused me to miss sales opportunities. Even during my freelance work, I found myself bogged down with repetitive tasks like data entry and often thought, "Can't these monotonous tasks be automated?" Therefore, I strongly resonate with Yoom's vision!
