Why teams connect ClickHouse and Google Sheets

Get the data locked inside Google Sheets into ClickHouse as live tables, and send results back where Google Sheets can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Google Sheets is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Spreadsheets, Sheets (tabs), Rows, Ranges from Google Sheets into tables in ClickHouse continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in ClickHouse can also be written back into fields in Google Sheets where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Prototype an integration by syncing a sheet before committing to a database schema.
  • Give ops and finance teams an editable spreadsheet view of CRM or database records, with edits written back to the source.
  • Sync aggregated ClickHouse query results back into operational tools, such as account-level usage metrics into a CRM.
  • Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in ClickHouse preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Google Sheets or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Google Sheets's data

Records and events from Google Sheets land in ClickHouse as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Google Sheets's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

What you can sync between ClickHouse and Google Sheets

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

ClickHouse objects Google Sheets objects
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Sheets (tabs) Individual worksheets, typically mapped one-to-one to a synced table.
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Rows Treated as records; a header row usually defines field names.
Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Ranges Addressed in A1 notation for batched reads and writes.
Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Named ranges Stable references that keep sync mappings valid when the grid moves.
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Cell values Untyped by default, so syncs handle type coercion for dates and numbers.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Spreadsheets The file-level container a sync connects to, identified by spreadsheet ID.

How the ClickHouse and Google Sheets connectors work

ClickHouse

Integration surface
Native TCP protocol and HTTP interface; standard SQL dialect, with MySQL and PostgreSQL wire compatibility available
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password); ClickHouse Cloud issues per-service credentials over TLS
Change detection
No log-based CDC for consumers; incremental reads use polling on monotonic columns, and ClickHouse is usually the destination rather than the source
Capabilities
read · write

Google Sheets

Integration surface
REST API (Google Sheets API), with file-level change signals available through the Drive API
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (user consent) or Google service accounts
Change detection
Polling; the Sheets API has no cell-level webhooks, and Drive push notifications only signal file-level changes
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to per-minute read and write quotas per project and per user, so large syncs are batched.
