Integrate Thinkific with Google Sheets

Integrating Thinkific with Google Sheets opens up a multitude of possibilities for automating and managing your e-learning workflows. Whether you want to keep track of new orders, monitor course progress, or manage user enrollments, the integration between these two platforms can be customized to fit your needs. Below are some effective ways to integrate Thinkific with Google Sheets.

Using Zapier to Create Zaps

Zapier serves as the bridge between Thinkific and Google Sheets, allowing you to create automated workflows, known as Zaps. A Zap consists of a trigger, such as a new user sign-up on Thinkific, and one or more actions, like adding a row to a Google Sheet. The integration can handle various triggers and actions, enabling you to automate tasks such as logging new orders, enrolling users, and tracking course completions.

Setting Up Custom Zaps

For those who have specific needs, Zapier offers the flexibility to create custom Zaps. This means you can design a workflow that fits exactly what you're looking to achieve, whether it's updating a spreadsheet based on user activity or managing enrollments from a Google Sheet. With the help of Zapier's Thinkific and Google Sheets triggers and actions, the possibilities for custom automation are nearly limitless.

Automating with Google Apps Script

If you're looking for a more hands-on approach, you can use Google Apps Script to directly automate interactions between Thinkific and Google Sheets. This method is more technical and requires scripting knowledge but offers a high degree of customization and control over your data workflows.

Alternative Integration with Sourcetable

For those who prefer not to use direct integrations or are looking for an alternative solution, Sourcetable can be a powerful tool. Sourcetable syncs live data from almost any app or database, including Thinkific and Google Sheets. This platform provides a user-friendly interface to manage your e-learning data efficiently without the need for complex workflows or scripts.
