Data capture integration

AI receptionist with Google Sheets integration

Every call leaves a structured row in a spreadsheet you own. Name, phone, intent, urgency, summary — appended the moment the call ends. The fastest CRM you'll ever stand up, and the easiest one to share with your team.

I.What it does

A spreadsheet that fills itself

A row per call, automatically

When the agent finishes a call, it writes one new row to your sheet with the fields you mapped — name, phone, intent, urgency, address, summary, and anything custom you defined.

You define the columns

Map fields by header name. Reorder, rename, or add columns whenever you like — the agent reads your headers each run, so you don't need to touch any settings to evolve the schema.

Structured, not transcript-dump

The agent extracts the actual data points (service type, preferred time, budget, decision-maker) instead of pasting a wall of conversation text. Sortable, filterable, pivotable.

Shareable across the team

A Google Sheet is the lowest-friction CRM in existence. Share it with your dispatcher, your bookkeeper, your spouse who runs the business with you — no seat licenses, no training.

Pipes into anything

Sheets is the universal joint. Pull rows into Looker Studio, Airtable, Notion, Hex, or a Zapier workflow whenever you outgrow the spreadsheet itself.

Multi-sheet routing

Send different intents to different sheets — sales leads to one, support tickets to another, after-hours emergencies to a third. Tabs and workbooks both supported.

Every row appears within a second or two of the call ending. Add columns whenever you want to capture something new — the agent picks them up from your headers.

III.Why teams use Sheets

Six ways operators put this to work

Pre-CRM lead log

For solo operators and small teams that aren't ready for HubSpot or Salesforce — your sheet is the funnel.

Daily handoff to a human

Office manager pulls up the sheet each morning, returns the calls flagged as "urgent" or "estimate", and works the rest in priority order.

Marketing-source attribution

Capture how the caller heard about you in a structured field. Pivot by source weekly to see what's actually driving phone leads.

After-hours visibility

Wake up to a clean spreadsheet of every call that came in overnight. No transcripts to sift through — just structured rows, ready to action.

Quote and estimate tracking

Capture the requested service, urgency, and budget signal per call. Use it as a forecast input for the week ahead.

Looker Studio or BI feed

Connect Sheets as a data source for Looker Studio, Power BI, or Hex. Build dashboards on top of phone-call data without standing up a warehouse.

IV.Setup

From OAuth to first row in under five minutes

01

Connect Google Sheets

In Integrations → Google Sheets, sign in with the Google account that owns the spreadsheet and grant the spreadsheets scope.

02

Pick the spreadsheet and tab

Select an existing workbook or create a new one. Pick the tab where new rows should be appended.

03

Map your columns

Match agent fields (caller name, phone, intent, summary, custom questions) to your column headers. Anything unmapped is ignored cleanly.

04

Take a real call

Place a test call to your agent. By the time you hang up, your spreadsheet has a fresh row. No refresh needed.

V.FAQ

Common questions

How fast does the row appear in the sheet?

+
Within a second or two of the call ending. Sheets is appended via the Google Sheets API as part of the call.completed pipeline — no batch, no nightly export.

Can I capture custom fields beyond the defaults?

+
Yes. Define custom intake questions in the dashboard ("how many bedrooms?", "is this for an existing project?") and map each one to its own column. The agent will ask those questions on calls that match your conditions.

What if my column headers change?

+
The agent re-reads headers on each run, so renaming or reordering columns is safe. Removing a mapped column means that field stops being written; new columns are ignored until you map them.

Can I send different call types to different sheets?

+
Yes. Set routing rules — for example, all "service request" intents to your dispatch tab, all "billing question" intents to your accounting tab.

Do you support shared drives and team workbooks?

+
Yes — any spreadsheet that the connected Google account can edit, including ones in Shared Drives.

Is this a replacement for a real CRM?

+
For solo operators and small businesses, often yes — a Google Sheet handles a lot more lead volume than people expect. When you graduate, switch the destination to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or your own database via webhooks without losing any history.

The simplest CRM is the one that fills itself

Hook up a Google Sheet, take a real call, and watch the row arrive before your phone is back in your pocket.
