Airtable is a versatile, low-code platform for building custom apps and managing databases. It caters to various teams such as marketing, sales, and finance, offering an intuitive interface for creating business applications without extensive coding knowledge.

While Airtable provides a spreadsheet-like experience, many users prefer leveraging its data within Google Sheets for greater functionality and flexibility. However, manually transferring Airtable data to Google Sheets can be time-consuming and error-prone. Superjoin simplifies this process, allowing users to automatically sync Airtable data to Google Sheets with ease.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to connect Airtable to Google Sheets and highlight some popular use cases for integrating Airtable data with Google Sheets.

Best Ways to Connect Airtable to Google Sheets

Method 1: Using Superjoin

Superjoin provides the fastest and easiest way to connect Airtable to Google Sheets without any technical know-how or complex setup processes. Here’s how it works:

1. Install Superjoin

Go to the Google Workspace Marketplace and install the Superjoin app.

2. Launch Superjoin

Open Google Sheets, click on "Extensions" in the menu, select "Superjoin," and launch the app. Superjoin will run on the sidebar of your Google Sheet.

3. Create a New Connection

In the Superjoin sidebar, click on "Sources" and select "Create new connection."

4. Select Airtable as Your Data Source

7. Click on "Import data" to bring the selected Airtable data into Google Sheets.

   
   

8. Set Up Data Refresh Schedule

To keep your data up-to-date, create a schedule to automatically refresh the imported data. You can set this to refresh hourly, daily, or weekly according to your needs.

Method 2: Using Airtable’s Native Integration

Airtable offers a native integration with Google Sheets through its Blocks feature. This allows you to sync data directly from Airtable to Google Sheets.

These are the steps:

1. Open your Airtable base.

2. Set up an automation by clicking the "Automations" button.

3. Choose a trigger event (e.g., when a record is created or updated)

4. Add a Google Sheets action.

5. Authenticate your Google account.

6. Select the Google Sheets file and specific sheet.

   
   

7. Map Airtable fields to Google Sheets columns.

8. Test and activate the automation.

   
   

Limitations:

• The native integration might lack advanced features such as custom scheduling.

• Limited data transformation capabilities compared to Superjoin.

  
  

Method 3: Using Zapier

Third-party automation tools like Zapier can also be used to sync Airtable with Google Sheets. Zapier allows you to create Zaps (automated workflows) that can transfer data between the two services.

Steps:

1. Sign up for a Zapier account and create a new Zap.

2. Select Airtable as the trigger app and set up the trigger (e.g., new record in Airtable).

3. Choose Google Sheets as the action app and configure the action (e.g., create new row in Google Sheets).

   
   

4. Test and turn on the Zap.

   
   

Limitations:

• Zapier’s free plan has limitations on the number of Zaps and tasks.

• Setting up complex Zaps might require technical knowledge and can become time-consuming.
