Integrating VideoAsk with Google Sheets opens up a multitude of possibilities for automating workflows and enhancing data management. With over 6,000 integrations available on Zapier, users of any size business can tailor their integration to suit their specific needs, from lead management to automating entire sections of their lead funnel.

Using Zapier to Create Automated Workflows

To integrate VideoAsk with Google Sheets using Zapier, you need to have accounts on all three platforms. Begin by organizing your Google Sheet with column headers for the data you want from VideoAsk responses. After submitting a test response on VideoAsk, log into Zapier to create a new Zap. Select VideoAsk as the trigger app, and choose the 'New Response (From a Respondent)' event. After configuring the trigger by selecting your VideoAsk account and the specific VideoAsk, test it to ensure it's working. Then, choose Google Sheets as the action app, select the 'Create Spreadsheet Row' event, and specify the destination in Google Sheets. Match the data fields from VideoAsk to the corresponding Google Sheets columns and test the action. Once satisfied, publish the Zap to automate this workflow.

Automating Workflows with Templates

These templates are designed to save time and simplify the process for users who may not be familiar with creating Zaps from scratch. By selecting a pre-made template, you can quickly set up an integration that fits your needs, whether it's for lead management, automating repetitive tasks, or managing every part of your lead funnel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I change the name of a column or sheet after integrating VideoAsk with Google Sheets?

Changing the name of a column or sheet breaks the connection between VideoAsk and Google Sheets. You will need to disconnect and reconnect to a new sheet if the name of a column or sheet is changed.

If I need to connect to a new sheet because changes were made, what should I do with the old data?

Old data must be copy/pasted to merge datasets if a new sheet is connected.

Will the integration be affected if I change the title of the columns in my Google Sheet?

Yes, the connection will break if the title of the columns of the sheet are changed.

What should I do if I add or change steps in my videoask?

If steps are added or changed, you need to disconnect and reconnect to a new sheet, as the number and order of steps in the videoask will align with the sheet columns.

How can I view the responses from my videoask in Google Sheets?

You can export responses to .csv or .xlsx to view complete responses from respondents, including metrics and answers per step.
