Google Sheets

After extracting and enriching data from various sources (e.g. obtaining potential leads from LinkedIn, including their names, jobs, company names, and emails via Hunter.io) you can initiate experiments to test and validate the quality of your leads. You may want to adjust database sources or clean your data to improve lead targeting and increase conversion rates. With our Google Sheets integration, you can run unlimited growth experiments on autopilot. Eliminate the back-and-forth between tools and spreadsheets by exporting fresh data directly into your Google spreadsheet and importing the changes you've made back into Captain Data.

The Google Sheets integration serves multiple purposes. Beyond experimentation, a Google spreadsheet can act as a database where data must be kept up-to-date. This integration allows for the automatic push of fresh, real-time data into this database. It ensures your list of companies, contacts, and other vital information remains current and accurate or lets you add a new set of data to your Google Spreadsheet without any hassle.

What Are the Benefits of Using This Integration?

Test and Run your Search: Utilize our Google Sheets integration to run an unlimited number of database experiments. These tests allow you to refine and adjust your lead targeting strategies continually, thereby enhancing your conversion rates. By integrating testing directly with your Google Sheets, Captain Data enables you to iterate on your database sources and parameters swiftly. 

💡As an example, If you wish to track buyers who switched companies, you can use the Google Sheet integration to adjust the initial Sales Navigator search with additional filters and add more/fewer companies as you iterate and get fresh results. To learn more, read the following playbook: Track buyers who have switched company

Optimize your Database: You can clean the leads to keep only the qualified ones, add columns or properties, and more, to your database. We have a playbook demonstrating this case study, called “Track your champions”. 

Maintain an Up-to-Date and Reliable Database: With data being directly extracted from sources like LinkedIn and updated live, automating the export to Google Sheets ensures your database is always current and accurate. Whether it's maintaining a list of companies and contacts or adding new datasets, the integration makes data management hassle-free. 

💡If you want to manage your updates from Google Sheets, connecting it to Make allows you to receive notifications as soon as any change is made on the sheet, enabling you to automate the data enrichment process. In the event of a data change compared to the previous dataset, you can set up a property to indicate this change. For instance, if you're tracking champions and one of them changes companies or positions from what was recorded in the previous database, you can update your property to indicate "Champion has moved to a new company or position." To learn more about how to implement this, explore the playbook titled “Track your champions”

Only two other tools in a similar niche as Captain Data provide Google Sheets integration. Apart from these, general automation platforms like Make or Zapier also support this integration.

To better understand, let's compare Captain Data with the two other platforms that offer the same integration, concentrating on features we believe are critical:

Unlike other Google Sheets integration providers, our data automation solution boasts the following unique features:

• Over 40 integrations, including LinkedIn Sales Navigator, to pull accurate data like verified phone numbers and email addresses.
• Real-time data extraction and enrichment, ensuring the data's accuracy and freshness.
• Pre-designed workflows that are easy to implement and quick to automatically transfer your extracted data into Google Sheets.
• Highly customizable workflows to fit  your specific requirements, allowing the addition of tasks and integrations.
• Workflow settings that enable full automation, including scheduling or repeating processes whenever necessary.
• Waterfall Enrichment to improve your database using multiple data sources.
• Account rotation and intelligent account limitations to avoid bans when scraping data from social media platforms such as LinkedIn.
• Direct integration with CRM systems like Hubspot or Salesforce, if you prefer to bypass Google Sheets.

Choosing the right tool depends on your needs. If your goal is simply to extract data for Google Sheets to quickly build a database without further experimentation or refinement, then Clay might be the better fit. TexAu offers more advanced features but falls short in data enrichment and automation capabilities.

For those looking to comprehensively automate their data extraction and enrichment processes—testing databases through Google Sheets, refining datasets to meet specific needs, identifying top leads, and integrating this data into a CRM or initiating outreach efforts on autopilot—Captain Data's advanced features stand out as the optimal solution.
