Step-by-Step Guide to Connect Clickfunnels to Google Sheets
Follow these steps to establish the connection between Clickfunnels and Google Sheets:
Step 1: Create a Google Sheet
Start by creating a new Google Sheet where you want to store your Clickfunnels data. This will serve as the central repository for all your leads and sales information.
Step 2: Set Up Your Automation Tool
Log in to your chosen automation tool (e.g., Zapier). If you don't have an account, sign up for one. Once logged in, you can create a new automation—or as they call it, a Zap in Zapier.
Step 3: Choose the Trigger App
Select Clickfunnels as your trigger app. This means that Clickfunnels will initiate the data transfer when a specific event occurs, such as a new lead being captured.
Step 4: Set the Trigger Event
Choose the trigger event that suits your needs. For example, you can select New Contact Activity to trigger the automation whenever a new lead is captured in Clickfunnels.
Step 5: Connect Your Clickfunnels Account
You will need to authorize the automation tool to access your Clickfunnels account. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your account securely.
Step 6: Choose the Action App
Now, select Google Sheets as your action app. This means that when the trigger event occurs in Clickfunnels, the automation will send data to your Google Sheet.
Step 7: Set the Action Event
For the action event, choose Create Spreadsheet Row. This action will add a new row in your Google Sheet with the data from Clickfunnels.
Step 8: Connect Your Google Sheets Account
Similar to connecting your Clickfunnels account, you will need to authorize your Google account. Ensure you grant the necessary permissions to allow data entry into your Google Sheet.
Step 9: Map Your Data
Now it's time to map the data fields from Clickfunnels to your Google Sheet. This is crucial for ensuring that the right data goes into the correct columns. For example:
| Clickfunnels Field | Google Sheets Column |
|---|---|
| Email Address | |
| First Name | First Name |
| Last Name | Last Name |
Step 10: Test the Integration
Before finalizing your setup, test the integration to ensure everything works as expected. Create a test lead in Clickfunnels and verify that the data appears correctly in your Google Sheet.
Step 11: Activate Your Automation
Once you confirm that the test is successful, activate your Zap or automation. This will ensure that every new lead captured in Clickfunnels is automatically sent to your Google Sheet.
