Data copying between different platforms is crucial for efficient data management. CodelessAPI offers a simple solution to copy Google Sheets data to Notion without the need for complex coding. This guide will take you through the step-by-step process of using CodelessAPI to establish dynamic data copy from Google Sheets to Notion, enhancing your data workflow.

Copying Made Simple

Follow these straightforward steps to set up data copying from Google Sheets to Notion using CodelessAPI:

Step 1: Sign Up and Create a New API

1. Create a CodelessAPI account: If you don't have an account, start by signing up for a free CodelessAPI account. You can register by visiting the sign-up page.
2. Generate a new API: After logging in, go to your dashboard and navigate to the "Workflows" page. Click the "Create new Workflow" button. Provide a descriptive name and relevant description for your API. Upon creation, you'll be taken to the API builder interface.
   

Step 2: Connect Google Sheets as the Source

1. Select Google Sheets as the data source: In the "Data" section of the left sidebar, expand the "Read" options, and choose "Google Sheets" as the source for your copy.
2. Add the Google Sheets module to the canvas: Drag and drop the "Google Sheets" module onto the canvas. This module will be your starting point for reading data from Google Sheets.
   

Step 3: Configure the Google Sheets Data Source

1. Authorize CodelessAPI with Google Sheets: Click on the Google Sheets module within the canvas and select "Configure". Follow the prompts to authorize CodelessAPI and grant access to your Google Sheets data.
2. Select the spreadsheet and sheet: After authorization, choose the specific Google Sheets spreadsheet and sheet that you want to copy data from. Select the columns you wish to include in the copying process.
   

Step 4: Connect Notion as the Destination

1. Choose Notion as the destination: Go to the "Data" section, expand the "Create" options, and select "Notion" as the destination for your copy.
2. Add the Notion module to the canvas: Drag and drop the "Notion" module onto the canvas. This module will be where the copied data will be inserted into your Notion database.
   

Step 5: Link the Modules

Create a data flow from Google Sheets to Notion by linking the modules in the desired sequence. Connect the "Start" module to the "Google Sheets" module, then link the "Google Sheets" module to the "Notion" module. Finally, connect the "Notion" module to the "End" module. To link modules, click on each module, then click "Link", and select the module you want to link to.

Step 6: Map Data in Notion

1. Authorize CodelessAPI with Notion: Click on the Notion module within the canvas and select "Add Notion Account". This will take you to a new window where you can select which notion databases you want to allow CodelessAPI to connect to. Follow the prompts to authorize the relevant databases.
2. Select the Notion page: After authorization, you will be redirected back to the builder page. Click on your Notion module and click on "Configure" and choose the specific Notion account and database where you want to insert the data.
3. Map fields in Notion: Use the "map" option to link the corresponding fields from the Google Sheets data to the relevant properties in your Notion page. This ensures accurate and organized data insertion.
   
4. Verify copied data in Notion: To confirm that the data from Google Sheets has been successfully copied to Notion, use the "Read" module for Notion. Set up the module to read from the same page and properties you selected earlier for data copying. This allows you to view the newly copied data in your Notion workspace.
   

Step 7: Test and Deploy Your API

1. Test your API: Initiate a test run of the API using the "Run" button. This helps identify potential issues and validates the API endpoint's functionality.
2. Deploy and use your API: After configuring the API, access the generated API endpoint to start the copying process between Google Sheets and Notion. To use the API, click on the "Start" module and select "Configuration" to obtain the API link.
