WhatsApp + Google Sheets Real-Time Sync

Sync WhatsApp data to Google Sheets in real time — append every lead, order, KYC submission, support ticket, or campaign response to a shared sheet your team already lives in. Zero-code OAuth, dynamic column mapping with variable interpolation, automatic token refresh, audit log per row.

What the Google Sheets integration does

Connect any Google account via OAuth (one-click), pick a spreadsheet + tab, map column values with placeholders like {{contact.name}}, {{response.email}}, {{attr.city}}, {{now}}. The Google Sheets node appends a row at flow runtime, branches Success / Failure / Next based on result, and refreshes the access token automatically on 401.

Questions we get a lot.

Still curious? Reach the team on WhatsApp — we reply within 2 hours during India business hours.

How do I connect my Google account to RichAutomate?

+

OAuth flow — click "Connect Google" from any Google Sheets node or from Integrations → Google. Authorize the spreadsheets + email scopes. Token is encrypted at rest and refreshed automatically. Disconnect anytime.

Can I write to a specific sheet tab, not just the first one?

+

Yes — the node accepts a Tab name field. Defaults to "Sheet1". Specify any tab that exists in the target spreadsheet.

What if my Google access token expires mid-campaign?

+

Automatic — RichAutomate refreshes the access token on 401 response and retries once. If the refresh token has been revoked (user disconnected on Google side), the node branches to the Failure handle and the tenant admin is notified.

Can I use dynamic variables in the row data?

+

Yes — any column value supports placeholders: {{contact.name}}, {{contact.phone}}, {{contact.email}}, {{response.<key>}} (from Data Collection), {{attr.<key>}} (from Set Attribute), {{now}}, {{today}}, {{flow_run_id}}.

Is the Google Sheets sync GDPR / DPDP compliant?

+

Yes — explicit OAuth consent flow, encrypted token storage, tenant-scoped access, audit log per append, right-to-erasure on user request within 72h. SCCs available for India → EU data flow on UK/EU NRI cohorts.
