This integration leverages the capabilities of Google Sheets for list management and Aircall's advanced calling features to streamline your calling operations. However, there are specific requirements and steps to follow to ensure the integration is set up correctly.

1. Ensure you have an Aircall account, which is a cloud-based call center and phone system.
2. Have access to Google Sheets where you can manage your calling campaign list.
3. Understand that direct uploading of lists into the phone is not possible; instead, lists are managed through Google Sheets.
4. Use Google Apps Script to write a script in Google Sheets, which will enable the interaction between Aircall and Google Sheets.
5. Set up triggers in Google Sheets to run scripts automatically, ensuring any changes in the sheet are updated in the campaign.
6. Optionally, utilize a third-party tool like Actiondesk to simplify the process of building reports and managing data.
7. Prepare your contact list in Google Sheets, adhering to the 1000 contact limit for The Power Dialer.
8. Format all phone numbers in the list in the E.164 format to be compatible with The Power Dialer.
9. Understand that any modifications made to the Google Sheet will be reflected in the published page, which syncs with The Power Dialer.

Integrating Aircall with Google Sheets

There are multiple methods to integrate Aircall with Google Sheets, each designed to streamline the process of managing call campaigns and automating data retrieval. From using the Power Dialer with a prepared list of numbers to writing custom scripts for data import, these integrations can help enhance productivity and maintain up-to-date information.

Using the Power Dialer with Google Sheets

To employ the Aircall Power Dialer with Google Sheets, you start by creating a calling campaign list within a spreadsheet. This list must contain phone numbers in the E.164 format and adhere to the 1000 contact limit per Power Dialer session. The default country code is determined by your phone application settings. It's important to note that you can’t upload lists directly into the Power Dialer, but rather use the list from Google Sheets to facilitate your calling campaigns.

Automating Data Retrieval with Google Sheets Scripts

For a more advanced integration, you can write a Google Sheets script that automates the process of pulling data from Aircall into your spreadsheet. This is done via the Google Apps Script platform and does not require any third-party software. To understand what data you can retrieve, you can utilize the Aircall API explorer and Postman collection. With this method, you can tailor your integration to fit specific data needs.

Syncing Data with Sourcetable

As an alternative to direct integration methods, Sourcetable offers a solution that syncs live data from various applications or databases, including Aircall. This approach can be particularly useful for those who require a more comprehensive data management system that extends beyond Google Sheets and Aircall alone. Sourcetable simplifies the process by handling the synchronization without the need for manual list preparation or custom scripting.
