Frequently Asked Questions

Does Airtable integrate directly with Google Sheets?

Yes, Airtable has a native integration with Google Sheets. It is available directly within the Airtable app marketplace.

Is the connection between Airtable and Google Sheets secure?

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Airtable security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way?

This is typically a one-way sync: Airtable → Google Sheets. Changes in Google Sheets do not sync back to Airtable.

Will existing data in Airtable sync to Google Sheets?

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
