      How to Add Unito to Your Google Sheet

      This article will show you how to connect Google Sheets to Unito so you can sync real-time 2-way updates with other tools.

      When you sync other work items to Google Sheets, they'll appear in your rows which means you should think of your columns as fields. Be sure to use the first row as a table header with appropriate field names in order to keep track of your data. We recommend doing this before installing the add-on.

      Here's an example of a table header that's ready to sync with Unito:

      Install the Unito add-on for Google Sheets

      Before you can start building a flow with Google Sheets, you need to install the Unito add-on through the Google Workspace Marketplace. The add-on will create two columns in your sheet, which enable Unito to properly sync your data.

      Why do I need the Unito add-on for Google Sheets?

      Having these columns in your sheet is essential for Unito's automated sync to function. You can hide these columns as soon as they're created, but they must stay in your sheet in order for Unito to continue syncing your data.

      How to install the Unito add-on for Google Sheets

      1. From your sheet, click Extensions, then Add-ons, and Get add-ons.
      2. Type Unito in the search bar.
      3. Install the Unito for Google Sheets add-on and follow the instructions in the pop-up.
      4. Click Insert the two columns in this sheet before going to Unito. Doing so will add two columns: UnitoID and Last Modified.
