🔀Push Back Data from Google Sheets to Retable
Learn how to efficiently export data from Google Sheets back to Retable using Dokin.
Step 1: Connect Retable Data Using Dokin
Before you can push data back from Google Sheets to Retable, you need to establish a connection between the two platforms.
Follow the tutorial below to learn how to connect Retable data using Dokin.
Step 2: Write Data in Your Spreadsheet
Common Warning
Before pushing data to Retable, it's essential to understand a few key points:
Read-only fields. Some fields in your Google Sheets are read-only, indicated by a grey background. Any data written in these columns will not be updated in Retable and will be disregarded.
Fields with options: For columns with predefined options, ensure that the data you enter matches one of the available options; otherwise, you may encounter errors.
Case 1: Updating an imported Record
If you wish to update an existing Retable record, simply overwrite the data in the corresponding row of your spreadsheet.
Case 2: Creating a new Record
To create a new record, simply write data in a new row of your spreadsheet. Leave the column "ID" blank. An ID will be automatically generated when the record is created.
Step 3: Push data back to Retable
Once you are satisfied with the data you want to transfer, proceed with the following steps:
On the corresponding Connection, click on the Options icon
Click on the menu item "Push Data back to Retable"
A pop-up window will appear to confirm your intent to push data back to Retable. If you're ready to proceed, click on "Push."
Dokin will then perform the following checks:
Case 1: Records Without IDs
If some records in your spreadsheet do not have an ID, Dokin will detect this and ask if you want to create new entries for records without IDs. You can choose to check or uncheck this option based on your preference.
Case 2: Fields That Do Not Match
If any headers in your spreadsheet do not match with Retable fields, you will need to select the appropriate Retable field that corresponds to the column. Ensure that all fields are correctly mapped for a successful data transfer.
By following these steps, you can effortlessly export data from Google Sheets to Retable using Dokin, streamlining your workflow and ensuring accurate data integration between these two essential tools.
