Google Sheets transforms from simple spreadsheet to powerful marketing data platform with live APIs, AI integration, and custom automation.

How Google Sheets Works: While many see it as just a spreadsheet, Google Sheets is actually a versatile data platform. It connects to live APIs for real-time FX rates, stock prices, and web data. With built-in AI functions and Apps Script automation, you can create custom workflows, automated reports, and sophisticated marketing tools without traditional development overhead.
Why We Still Use It: Despite having access to enterprise analytics platforms, Google Sheets remains essential for our marketing operations. We use it to build client reporting dashboards, create campaign planning tools, analyse performance data with custom formulas, and prototype marketing calculators. Apps Script lets us automate data collection from multiple sources, send scheduled reports, and create bespoke tools tailored to specific client needs. It’s the perfect bridge between simple data analysis and full development projects.
