Step 5: Link the Modules

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