“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Building scenario-based email automation with Google Sheets as your rule engine gives you enterprise-level conditional workflow capabilities while maintaining the flexibility to adjust rules without rebuilding entire automation sequences.
You’ll learn how to create a sophisticated rules processing system that evaluates multiple scenarios and triggers appropriate email automation based on real-time contact data.

How to make it work
Step 1. Build your rules engine foundation.
Import contact and engagement data from HubSpot, Salesforce, or other sources to populate your rules engine. Use scheduled imports (hourly to monthly) to keep your scenario rules based on current data, and apply dynamic filtering that references rule cells for flexible automation scenarios.
Step 2. Create scenario processing architecture.
Leverage up to 25 filters across 5 filter groups to create complex scenario evaluation logic. Implement conditional exports that trigger only when specific scenario conditions are met, and use Formula Auto Fill Down to automatically apply scenario evaluation formulas to new contacts.
Step 3. Set up real-time rule execution.
Configure automated alerts triggered by cell value changes when scenarios are triggered. Set up Slack and email notifications with variables for personalized scenario-based communications, and use Snapshots to capture historical scenario triggers while maintaining live rule evaluation.
Step 4. Integrate with your email automation platform.
Export scenario-triggered contact segments to HubSpot Contact Lists for email execution. Use association management to link scenario outcomes with specific email campaigns, and maintain bidirectional data flow between your rules engine and email automation platform.
