Zapier: Export inspection data to Google Sheets spreadsheets
Learn how to create a Zap to automatically export inspection data into a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
As one of the most used spreadsheets applications, Google Sheets offers a wide range of functionalities to help people analyze and visualize data. Using integration tools such as Zapier, you can automatically export your SafetyCulture inspection data to populate a Google Sheets spreadsheet, so your team can access the latest information captured by your frontline users at any time and analyze the data with ease.
If your organization uses Power Automate as the integration tool, you can create a flow that delivers an equivalent solution!
Take note
This Zap utilizes Google Sheets as the solution to store inspection data. It can be interchanged with other connectors such as Microsoft Excel Online.
The data that gets exported is based on the inspections your account has access to. Learn how to give yourself inspection access by creating access rules or assigning the "Override permissions: View all data" permission.
You will need to create a Google Sheets spreadsheet beforehand with column headers for the action data you want to export. For each header, label each response you want to export.
This Zap does not support the following inspection questions:
Questions within logic fields.
Questions within repeat sections.
Multiple-choice questions that have "multiple selection" enabled.
If you run into any errors or have any questions regarding the integration, please contact our customer support team for assistance.
If you're a part of multiple organizations, please contact our customer support team for assistance in connecting Zapier to the correct SafetyCulture organization.
