How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate AWS Lambda with Google Sheets - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.
Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Function" from AWS Lambda.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Create Spreadsheet Column" in Google Sheets.
You’re connected!
Zapier seamlessly connects AWS Lambda and Google Sheets, automating your workflow.
Supported triggers and actions
Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.

Frequently Asked Questions about AWS Lambda + Google Sheets integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with AWS Lambda and Google Sheets
How can I trigger an AWS Lambda function from Google Sheets?
You can trigger an AWS Lambda function from Google Sheets by using a webhook URL. By setting up a script within Google Sheets, you can make HTTP requests to the webhook URL associated with your Lambda function. This requires configuring the necessary API Gateway as a front-facing interface for your Lambda function.
Can AWS Lambda write data back to Google Sheets?
Yes, AWS Lambda can write data back to Google Sheets through the use of the Google Sheets API. You will need to have credentials set up for service account access, and your Lambda function should be able to authenticate and push data accordingly.
Do I need any special permissions in Google Sheets for integrating with AWS Lambda?
Yes, you need to ensure that your Google Sheet is accessible through the API by granting appropriate permissions. This typically means sharing with a service account or ensuring that OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured.
What formats are supported for data transfer between AWS Lambda and Google Sheets?
Data can be transferred in various formats such as JSON or CSV, depending on your specific setup and needs within both AWS Lambda and the services you’re utilizing with Google Sheets.
What are some common triggers for executing an AWS Lambda function that interacts with Google Sheets?
Common triggers include specific updates made within a sheet such as new entries or modifications. Additionally, scheduled triggers through CloudWatch Events or time-based triggers via a cron job setup could be employed if needed.
Is it possible to use Zapier to facilitate integration between AWS Lambda and Google Sheets?
While Zapier is designed for app integration, it's not typically used directly with programming tasks like connecting AWS services directly. However, our platform can bridge other services that might work alongside such integrations.
How do I handle errors when transferring data between AWS Lambda and Google Sheets?
Error handling is crucial when moving data between systems. You should implement error-catching mechanisms in both your Lambda code and any scripts you have running on the Google Sheet side. Logging errors for further analysis will also help in troubleshooting potential issues effectively.
