Step 5: Link the Modules

Establish a data flow from Google Sheets to PostgreSQL by linking the modules together. Connect the "Start" module to the "Google Sheets" module, then the "Google Sheets" module to the "Postgres" module. Finally, link the "Postgres" module to the "End" module. To link modules, click on each module, then click "Link", and choose the module you want to link to.
