Common questions for Google Sheets

How does LeadsBridge recognize emails on a sheet?

LeadsBridge automatically finds the email column that is used to check for duplicates or to retrieve emails that can be used as the source in the Custom Audience feature.

Why do I see "#ERROR" under the phone number column inside my sheet?

You are seeing this error on your Google Sheet because the phone number is passed with a "+" before the value and Google recognize it as the SUM operation. Typically this "+" character is used to identify the international format prefix and is automatically added by your lead generation tool to any phone number. You may fix it very quickly by editing the phone column on your sheet, please follow these steps: - Head to your Google Sheet - Select the whole column (1-click on the column letter) - Click on "Format" >> "Number" on the top menu - Select "Text" instead of "Number"

Google Sheet Tips

Do not change the order of the columns in your spreadsheet, especially when the bridge has already recognized the fields. This can cause errors with how you'll receive the leads' information on your Google Spreadsheet.

When should I use the Sheet Id field?

Currently, Google Sheets Integration expects to collect a maximum of 500 spreadsheets per Google account, so if your account contains more than 500 spreadsheets it’s possible that your spreadsheet is not displayed in the selection list from the Bridge configuration. If this is your case, thanks to the Sheet Id field, you will be able to indicate the exact ID of the spreadsheet you want to use.

How to use Google Sheets as a CRM ?

There are several ways to use Google Sheets as a CRM, including the following:

 

  1. Create a Google Sheets CRM template if you don't already have one. Open your template and click on "File" at the top bar. Then select "Make a copy" from the drop-down menu.
  2. Customize your Google Sheets CRM template to fit your business needs. Define your workflows, which are the micro steps that help you achieve your business objectives. Adjust the sales or marketing stages by typing them under the "Stage name" column. Set a closing probability and/or conversion probability for each stage under the "Probability" column. You can customize the stages based on your sales funnel flow.
  3. Input your existing pipeline information into the CRM template. Make sure all the important information is placed correctly. You can import this data manually or through email. For manual import, you can gradually move the data points into the CRM spreadsheet by spending a few minutes a day. Alternatively, if you have kept your prospects' information updated in your email contacts, you can import this data to your CRM template via email.
  4. Centralize the use of your Google Sheets template by sharing it with your team members, including those from sales, marketing, and customer service.

 

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize Google Sheets as a CRM for your business.
