Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up automatic Google Sheets sync inside Coda.

Quick summary

Coda lets you automate Google Sheets table updates directly within your doc by configuring a sync schedule — hourly or daily — so your data stays current without manual refreshes. This walkthrough shows exactly how to access the Refresh settings on a synced table and enable automatic updates in just a few clicks.

Steps

Inside your Coda doc, navigate to your Google Sheets table and click the drop-down arrow next to the Refresh button.
Tap Settings from the drop-down menu.
In the right-side panel, locate Refresh This Table under the Sync tab and select either Hourly or Daily as your sync frequency.
Once saved, syncing changes from your Google Sheet to your Coda doc will be automated based on your chosen schedule.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping Google Sheets data in sync with Coda manually is time-consuming and error-prone. Coda's automated table sync feature eliminates the need for manual refreshes by letting teams schedule hourly or daily updates directly from the table settings panel. This ensures that any changes made in the source Google Sheet are automatically reflected in your Coda doc, giving teams a single, always-current source of truth. For teams managing live data — from project trackers to financial reports — automated Google Sheets sync in Coda is a critical productivity feature that reduces data lag and human error.
