For those who want to understand market and competitor trends, information gathering is a task that requires a lot of time and effort.
Manual research not only requires collecting data but also organizing it, which demands significant resources.
Here, we introduce how you can streamline the information gathering process by integrating SPIRAL, Google Search, and Google Sheets using Yoom.
This article explains in detail how this automation can specifically help.

Benefits of Integrating SPIRAL and Google Sheets

Benefit 1: Reduce the burden of manual work and achieve efficient data collection

Collecting data on reviews and reputations can surprisingly take a lot of time when done manually.
By integrating SPIRAL, Google Search, and Google Sheets, Google Search is automatically executed when keywords are registered in SPIRAL, and the summarized information is organized in Google Sheets through Yoom's AI functionality.
This integration reduces manual data collection and organization, enhancing work efficiency.

Benefit 2: Centralized data management and maintenance of accuracy

Data is automatically organized in Google Sheets, making centralized management easy.
The entire team can share the same data, allowing easy access to necessary information and facilitating data utilization.
Additionally, manual input errors and information omissions are reduced, maintaining accurate data.
This is useful for competitor analysis, improving your own products, and is convenient for regular report creation and market analysis.

Examples of Other Automation Flows Using SPIRAL and Google Sheets

Here are three examples of automation flows that integrate SPIRAL with Google Sheets.
1. A flow where SPIRAL records are updated when a row in Google Sheets is updated.
Changes in Google Sheets data are automatically reflected in SPIRAL, maintaining data consistency. This eliminates the need for manual data synchronization, enabling efficient information management.

2. This is a flow where keywords added in Google Sheets are searched on Google, and the results are updated in the spreadsheet.
Since the search results are reflected in the spreadsheet, you can collect the latest information effortlessly. This will reduce the burden of research work and make information gathering smoother.

3. This is a flow to send the weekly progress report spreadsheet URL via email on a specified schedule.
The process of sending reports is streamlined, eliminating the need for manual email sending. Regular progress reports are smoothly shared, enhancing information sharing within the team.
