How Import JSON Into Sheets works

5 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. Fetch the latest JSON recordsFetch every page from your chosen JSON source each morning. Stop the refresh and report an error if a page fails.
  2. Match records to sheet rowsRead existing IDs and tracked values from your shared sheet. Match them to JSON records by ID.
  3. Find changes and attention itemsMap JSON fields to your chosen columns and compare values by ID. Flag records that meet your attention rules.
  4. Update new and changed rowsAdd new rows and update changed values under their source IDs. Leave unchanged rows alone and keep missing values blank.
  5. Email the daily summaryWrite new and changed counts to the watched summary cell. Include an attention link so your spreadsheet's rule emails the owner.

9 tools
Set your rules
  • Connect the JSON API endpoint, its credentials, and any pagination settings; choose a morning run time and time zone.
  • Choose the API's stable record ID, the JSON fields to track, their destination spreadsheet columns, and which missing values or source statuses need the owner's attention.
  • Create a shared spreadsheet with one row per source ID, tracked columns, a last-seen time, and an attention note; give the Agent edit access.
  • Create a separate daily summary row with a message cell and an attention-list link. Set a conditional notification on the message cell to email the owner's individual work or Gmail address when it changes; confirm that the account has this feature.
Launch the Agent

Use safe mode to approve every result before it goes out, or let the Agent run automatically.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Import JSON Into Sheets:

Can I choose which JSON fields go into Google Sheets?

Yes. Choose the stable ID, tracked fields, and destination columns during setup. You also choose which gaps or statuses need attention.

What happens when the source has duplicate or incomplete records?

Your attention list shows conflicting IDs, and the Agent skips their row updates. You choose whether missing fields need a flag; their cells stay blank.

Will an empty response or failed fetch clear my spreadsheet?

No. Your existing rows stay in place after an unexpectedly empty response or failed fetch. The owner gets a summary explaining the issue.

How does the owner receive the daily email?

Set a conditional notification on the summary cell and choose the owner's eligible individual address. Your spreadsheet account must support that feature.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
