How to Connect Google to ChatSyncs
How to connect a Google account to ChatSyncs so it can write to Google Sheets and use Google Calendar and Contacts to save subscriber and form data.
On this page
Connect Account → Google connects a Google account to ChatSyncs so it can:
- Write data into Google Sheets.
- (Once connected) also be used for Google Calendar and Google Contacts.
Click Connect Google on the Connect Account page to open the Google Integration screen:
Connecting an account#
Sign in with Google
Click Sign in with Google, then pick the Google account to connect from the account picker:
Grant the requested permissions
Review and check what ChatSyncs can access, then click Continue. ChatSyncs requests:
- Contacts — see, edit, download, and permanently delete your Google contacts
- Google Drive — see, edit, create, and delete only the specific files ChatSyncs creates
- Google Sheets — see, edit, create, and delete your Google Sheets spreadsheets
- Google Calendar — see, edit, share, and permanently delete calendars you can access
Confirm on reconnect
If the account was connected before and you're reconnecting (e.g. after re-authorizing), Google shows a shorter "You're signing back in to ChatSyncs" screen — click Continue.
Once connected, the account appears under Google Accounts with the permissions it granted — Google Sheets & Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts — plus Sync Data and Unlink actions.
Using the connected account#
From the Integrations sidebar, the connected account can create or attach sheets, and manage calendars.
Google Sheets#
Create New Sheet — pick the connected account, name the Sheet Title, and optionally Add Header to define column headers up front, then Save. ChatSyncs creates a brand-new spreadsheet in the connected Drive with those headers already in place.
Add Existing Sheet — point ChatSyncs at a spreadsheet you already have by picking the account and pasting its Sheet ID.
Google Calendar#
Create New Calendar — pick the connected account, name the Calendar Summary, and choose a Timezone, then Save — for flows that book appointments via Google Calendar.
Use cases#
- Save subscriber information collected during a WhatsApp conversation.
- Store form responses from an input flow.
- Export customer data for reporting.
- Keep records automatically without manual data entry.
Frequently asked#
Why does Google say 'This app hasn't been verified' when I connect my account?
Because ChatSyncs hasn't gone through Google's app-verification review yet. It's expected — click Advanced, then Go to chatsyncs.com (unsafe) to continue safely.
Can I save bot-collected data straight into a Google Sheet?
Yes — connect a Google account here, then use Create New Sheet or Add Existing Sheet as the destination for a flow step that saves subscriber info or form responses.
I connected Google Sheets but contact syncing isn't working — why?
Check that you granted the Contacts permission during the Google consent step, not just Sheets/Drive — some features need both scopes.
What's the difference between Google Sheet Integration and Google Sheet Fetch?
Google Sheet Integration writes data into a sheet. Google Sheet Fetch reads data from a sheet — for example looking up a customer record the bot then uses in a reply.
Learn From a Use Case#
- Clinic Appointment Booking Automation — syncs every appointment to a spreadsheet the front desk uses.
