Feature · Integrated columns
Bring live data from your tools into the spreadsheet
Integrated columns connect Sheetlane rows to the apps your team already uses. Pull data into the grid, map app outputs to cells, refresh when needed, and stop hopping between tabs to check the same five tools.
- Connect a tool once, reuse it across columns
- Map row inputs to API arguments with an AI-assisted wizard
- Manual refresh or background revalidation per column
- See live status: fresh, stale, or failed, per cell
- Read live data
- Map fields visually
- Refresh per cell
What integrated columns solve
Teams waste time checking CRMs, inboxes, project tools, analytics dashboards, and docs before they can act. Integrated columns make those lookups part of the row, so the data and the decision live together.
Example workflows
- Pull contact and account status from your CRM before sending outreach
- Fetch the latest email thread before generating a follow-up
- Bring task status from Linear or Notion into a launch tracker
- Pull campaign or ad metrics into a marketing sheet for reporting
- Fetch customer details before drafting a support reply
- Bring a Google Sheets range into a Sheetlane workflow
Built for repeatability
Configure the tool once, map row inputs to arguments, choose refresh behavior, and reuse the column across the sheet. The three-step wizard (Source → Describe → Review) uses AI to pick the right tool and auto-map fields based on plain-language intent.
- 01
Pick a source
Browse every connected toolkit. Connect a new one inline if you need to, the OAuth popup completes without leaving the sheet.
- 02
Describe what you want
Type the intent in plain English. Sheetlane lists the toolkit's tools and pre-fills field mapping using your existing columns.
- 03
Review and ship
Tweak any auto-mapped field, choose a refresh policy, and save. The column starts populating immediately.
Status and refresh
Each cell shows whether the value is fresh, stale, or failed. Refresh on demand, or set a column-level revalidation policy so important context stays current.
Frequently asked questions
Which tools can Sheetlane connect to?
Sheetlane is designed to connect to many business tools, including Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Salesforce, Linear, Google Sheets, and more. The admin can control which integrations are available in the workspace.
Can integrated data be refreshed?
Yes. Refresh manually from any cell, regenerate the column, or set a refresh behavior so values stay current without manual work.
What happens when an integration fails?
Sheetlane surfaces integration status at the cell and column level so teams can see whether data is fresh, stale, or failed, and retry without losing other column values.
Are integrations safe for shared sheets?
Workspace admins control which integrations are enabled and who can connect them. Connected accounts can be scoped per user or per workspace depending on the integration.
