Why teams connect Autopilot and Google Sheets
Feed Google Sheets's records into Autopilot for indexing, classification, and generation, then land the model's output back on those same records, in real time and in both directions.
Autopilot works on data it does not own. The records, conversations, tickets, messages, and events it needs to embed, classify, summarize, or answer questions about actually live in Google Sheets, the tool the team uses every day. So the value of Autopilot depends on two flows that most teams stitch together with a custom script or a one-time export: getting Google Sheets's data in, and getting the model's results back out to where people can act on them. When either flow runs on a batch or a stale snapshot, the model reasons over yesterday's data and its output never reaches the record it belongs to.
Stacksync syncs Cell values, Spreadsheets, Sheets (tabs), Rows from Google Sheets into Autopilot continuously, so the model always works from current records instead of a snapshot, and writes Activities, Contacts, Lists, Custom Fields, the scores, labels, summaries, drafts, and embedding metadata Autopilot produces, back onto the matching record in Google Sheets. The sync is field-level and keyed on a stable identifier, so every output attaches to the exact record it came from and each system keeps its own extra fields untouched.
You decide the direction and the trigger conditions per field: pull records one way to build and keep a retrieval corpus current, push results the other way onto the operational record, or both.
Common use cases
- 01 Upsert Contacts from a CRM or product database into Autopilot so new signups and profile changes flow into email and SMS journeys without manual CSV imports.
- 02 Add contacts to a Journey from a database event or CRM stage change to start automated onboarding or nurture sequences.
- 03 Use a sheet as a lightweight intake form whose rows become records in a production database.
- 04 Reconcile finance or billing exports against system-of-record data in one collaborative surface.
Common sync patterns
Build a retrieval corpus from Google Sheets's records
Records, tickets, messages, or events from Google Sheets sync into Autopilot so they can be indexed, embedded, or retrieved as context, without a hand-built extraction job.
Keep the model's knowledge current
As records change in Google Sheets, the synced copy in Autopilot updates within seconds, so retrieval and generation reason over live data rather than a stale export.
Where Autopilot classifies or scores: results land on the record
Categories, sentiment, priority, or scores produced by Autopilot write back onto the matching record in Google Sheets, so the team acts on them in the tool they already use.
What you can sync between Autopilot 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.
| Autopilot objects | Google Sheets objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lists Static contact lists; membership is readable per list and writable by adding or removing contacts. | Spreadsheets The file-level container a sync connects to, identified by spreadsheet ID. | Lists is specific to Autopilot and Spreadsheets to Google Sheets — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Custom Fields User-defined contact properties (string, number, date, boolean); discovered so field keys map cleanly to destination columns. | Sheets (tabs) Individual worksheets, typically mapped one-to-one to a synced table. | Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Sheets (tabs) to Google Sheets — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. | Rows Treated as records; a header row usually defines field names. | Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Rows to Google Sheets — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Journeys (Triggers) Automation journeys; a contact can be added to a journey via its trigger endpoint to start automated email or SMS sequences. | Ranges Addressed in A1 notation for batched reads and writes. | Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Ranges to Google Sheets — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Activities Per-contact activity and event history (opens, clicks, journey steps); read-only feed used for engagement reporting. | Named ranges Stable references that keep sync mappings valid when the grid moves. | Activities is specific to Autopilot and Named ranges to Google Sheets — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Contacts Core people records (email, name, custom fields, list and segment membership); upserted two-way as the primary sync object. | Cell values Untyped by default, so syncs handle type coercion for dates and numbers. | Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Cell values to Google Sheets — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Autopilot and Google Sheets
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
Autopilot Google Sheets Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Autopilot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Google Sheets through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations
- Autopilot: The REST API is capped at 100 requests/minute per account; exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Enterprise plans can request a higher limit. Contact writes accept an array for bulk upsert, and list and segment reads paginate via a bookmark cursor.
- Google Sheets: Subject to per-minute read and write quotas per project and per user, so large syncs are batched.

How the Autopilot and Google Sheets connectors work
Autopilot
- Integration surface
- REST API (Autopilot v1); Autopilot rebranded to Ortto in 2021 and the newer Ortto API co-exists with the legacy Autopilot endpoints
- Authentication
- Per-account API key sent in the autopilotapikey request header (generated in account settings); requests use Content-Type application/json against https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1/
- Change detection
- No CDC; incremental sync polls the /contacts endpoint with bookmark cursor pagination and updated timestamps. Journey webhook actions can push specific contact events, but there is no general change-subscription webhook, so polling is the reliable path.
- Capabilities
- read · write
- Rate limits
- The REST API is capped at 100 requests/minute per account; exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Enterprise plans can request a higher limit. Contact writes accept an array for bulk upsert, and list and segment reads paginate via a bookmark cursor.
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

FAQ
Autopilot and Google Sheets integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Autopilot and Google Sheets: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Autopilot's Lists and Custom Fields), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Autopilot and Google Sheets connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Autopilot–Google Sheets integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Autopilot and Google Sheets. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Autopilot: No CDC; incremental sync polls the /contacts endpoint with bookmark cursor pagination and updated timestamps. Journey webhook actions can push specific contact events, but there is no general change-subscription webhook, so polling is the reliable path. On Google Sheets: Polling; the Sheets API has no cell-level webhooks, and Drive push notifications only signal file-level changes. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Autopilot side: Activities, Contacts, Lists, Custom Fields, plus custom fields where Autopilot exposes them. On the Google Sheets side: Cell values, Spreadsheets, Sheets (tabs), Rows. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
