Frequently asked questions
- How do I connect Google Sheets to Salesforce?
- Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Google Sheets and Salesforce via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing productivity events to crm actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
- What can I automate between Google Sheets and Salesforce?
- You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Google Sheets events to Salesforce actions, trigger Salesforce updates when Google Sheets data changes, create Salesforce records from Google Sheets events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
- Is the Google Sheets and Salesforce integration free?
- Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Google Sheets-to-Salesforce workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
- Is my Google Sheets data secure when connected to Salesforce?
- Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Google Sheets or Salesforce passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your productivity data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
- Can I sync data both ways between Google Sheets and Salesforce?
- Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Sheets or Salesforce. For example, create a workflow where Google Sheets events update Salesforce, and a separate one where Salesforce changes sync back to Google Sheets. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
- Do I need technical skills to connect Google Sheets and Salesforce?
- No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Google Sheets and Salesforce, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
