Google Sheets Automation & API Integration
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need my Google Sheets workspace to run itself: incoming data should arrive automatically through an external API, land in the right tabs, and trigger fresh, easy-to-read summary reports in another Sheet without any manual touch. The flow is straightforward—capture, store, summarise, and present—yet I want it done cleanly with Google Apps Script (or another serverless approach that keeps everything inside the Google ecosystem).
Here’s what has to happen:
• The script calls the supplied API on a schedule or on-demand, parses the payload, and writes the values exactly where I specify, overwriting or appending as needed.
• Once new rows are added, the same automation should build or update a consolidated report in Google Sheets format; totals, pivots, or charts can be created with built-in functions so the file remains lightweight.
• No PDFs or Excel exports are required—everything stays native to Sheets.
I’ll provide:
– API endpoint, authentication method, and the column layout I expect.
– A template file showing the report structure.
You’ll deliver:
– Fully commented Apps Script (or equivalent) bound to the Sheet.
– A short Loom/video or written walkthrough so I can modify endpoints or field mapping later.
– Confirmation that the workflow still functions if I duplicate the Sheet.
If you’ve built similar data-entry automations before, especially those syncing with external APIs, this should be a quick, tidy engagement.
