“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.”
HubSpotWhile you can’t syncproperties instantly when Google Sheets cells change, you can set up near real-time updates using high-frequency scheduled exports and conditional logic that respond to specific changes.
This approach provides reliable, automated updates that meet most business needs while maintaining data integrity and giving you better control over the sync process.
Set up change-based updates using Coefficient
Coefficientoffers powerful alternatives through hourly scheduled exports combined with conditional logic that only updates when specific criteria are met.
How to make it work
Step 1. Create trigger columns in your spreadsheet.
Add helper columns to flag changes. For example, use =IF(G2<>G2.old,”UPDATE”,””) in column H to detect when values change, and =IF(H2=”UPDATE”,NOW(),””) in column I to timestamp modifications.
Step 2. Set up high-frequency scheduled exports.
Configure Coefficient to run exports every hour for near real-time synchronization. The system only updates changed records, optimizing performance and API usage.
Step 3. Configure conditional export logic.
Set up Coefficient to only export rows where your Update Flag equals “UPDATE”. This ensures you’re only pushing meaningful changes rather than redundant data.
Step 4. Enable smart alerts and batch processing.
Configure Coefficient alerts for specific cell value changes and set up priority flags for different types of changes. Use formulas to flag significant changes like usage drops greater than 10%.
