Database into Google Sheets and then update Streak — all without using engineering resources.We’ll start with our Google Sheets trigger, Updated Spreadsheet Row:We’ll then need to either select an existing Google Sheets account or Connect a new one. In this case, we’re going to use Andrew’s Google Sheets account:Although we can optionally set the trigger to run only if a specific field is updated, for this example we’ll opt to have any field update trigger the zap:(… always test! Our test was successful).Pro tip: Time to have flex our Zapier muscle and have some automation fun! In this next step, we’re going to use “Box Search” to look for an existing Streak box:… select which Streak account to use:We now offer powerful search and update via Zapier. In the example below, I’m searching in the “Accounts” pipeline to match a field from Google Sheets (‘admin’ as shown) in order to find my existing box:We’ve searched for the box, but now we need to update it. The update is done as a 3rd step in our automation using the ‘Edit Box’ action:Pro tip: Search will always be a separate step from edit (or other actions we might want to take after finding a matching box).Pro tip: When we’re setting the edit action, the most accurate way to tell Zapier which box to edit is to the unique ‘box key’ of the box we located before. This is shown below with: “Step 2 Box Key”:We’re updating payment information, so we’ll input the Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) from Google Sheets into the ‘MRR’ field in our pipeline:If an existing row receives updated data, or an entirely new row is added to Google Sheets, our boxes will receive the updates!Example 4: Completed Tasks are Posted to a Slack ChannelKeep your whole team in the loop as you work through your tasks! We’ve got the perfect Streak trigger built in:And then we’ll select a pipeline to monitor for new comments:Before we can start working with Slack, we’re going to use an advanced Search function. In the previous search example, we used a field from Google Sheets to look for matching Streak boxes. In this example, we’re going use Search to find the Box Key (unique ID) of the box from Step 1.Using this advanced search feature will allow us to use all possible Streak details when we’re working with Slack:For this kind of search, always use the ‘box key’ as shown below:Almost there! Your advanced search work is about to pay off. For our example, we’ll have Slack send a channel message instead of a direct message:Time to put everything together! Our Slack message is going to use the results of our both of our
