Connecting a Google account does not automatically export workspace data. Create a spreadsheet or explicitly select one, then review the target sheet, columns and operation before writing customer data.
Create or explicitly select the destination
Open Manage Google Sheets. Add New Sheet creates a spreadsheet through the connected account. Selecting an existing file also depends on the deployment's Google Picker configuration; a disabled picker is not permission to export to arbitrary Drive files.
Check the spreadsheet name and identifier before an edit. A similarly named file in another account is not necessarily the intended destination.
- Confirm the connected account.
- Verify the chosen spreadsheet and tab.
- Use app-created sheets if existing-file selection is unavailable.
Review writes and check operation history
Inspect the target columns before appending rows or using an enabled workflow destination. Values are treated as literal text in supported writes; do not rely on a submitted formula being executed.
After a timeout, inspect Recent operations and the spreadsheet before sending the same write again. The original request may already have reached Google. Changes made directly in Google during a write are outside the application's concurrency controls.
- Check operation status, not only the button response.
- Do not retry blindly after a timeout.
- Verify permissions and destination before enabling automated logging.
Frequently asked questions
Will connecting Google export my contacts automatically?
No. Connection alone is not an export instruction. A spreadsheet and an explicit operation or supported workflow destination must be selected.
Why is Select existing spreadsheet disabled?
The deployment may be missing Google Picker configuration. App-created spreadsheets can remain available while existing-file selection is unavailable.
