Zapier makes it easy to integrate Google Sheets with TimelinesAI. From the navigation menu, you can access the Zapier to set up triggers and actions, allowing seamless data syncing and automation between the two platforms.
In this demonstration, we will guide you on how to navigate TimelinesAI effectively.
You can set up custom workflows to automate tasks based on your needs. By defining triggers and actions, you can control how data is processed and shared across Google Sheets and TimelinesAI.
Before setting up automation, you need to set up a trigger. A trigger is an event that starts the process automatically. This means you decide what event should happen to begin the workflow. For example, in Google Sheets, you might want the automation to start when a new row is added or when a certain value changes in a cell.
If you are configuring the trigger for TimelinesAI for the first time, you will need the TimelinesAI’s Token ID to integrate with the other platforms. For more information on generating a new Token ID, refer to the relevant section - Generate a New TimelinesAI Token ID.
In this demonstration, we will guide you how to configure the trigger to create custom workflows.
When configuring the trigger, you must define the trigger events, which may require different fields depending on the selected event type. Here are the options:
After configuring the trigger, you need to configure the action, which determines what happens after the trigger activates. This could be updating a record, sending a message, or creating a new entry to complete the workflow.
If you are configuring the trigger for the first time, Zapier will ask your permission to access information from your Google account. Once you approve it, Zapier will gather data from your Google account. You must also integrate TimelinesAI with Zapier.
