Why teams connect Google Sheets and Lever

Keep the people, teams, and status that Google Sheets and Lever share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Google Sheets keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. Lever is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Named ranges, Cell values, Spreadsheets, Sheets (tabs) in Google Sheets with Requisitions, Offers, Users, Stages in Lever bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in Lever creates or updates the matching user in Google Sheets within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Google Sheets captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to Lever in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Use a sheet as a lightweight intake form whose rows become records in a production database.
  • 02 Reconcile finance or billing exports against system-of-record data in one collaborative surface.
  • 03 Consolidate Feedback, Interviews, and Notes into a warehouse for interviewer scorecard and time-to-fill reporting.
  • 04 Write enriched Sources, Tags, and Contact data back onto Opportunities from an outbound sourcing pipeline.

Common sync patterns

Org and team structure kept current

Department, team, and reporting-line changes from Lever keep the groups, queues, or projects in Google Sheets assigned to the right people.

Where Google Sheets routes or assigns work by person: assignments follow the org

When someone changes teams or managers in Lever, the queues, ownership, or approvals in Google Sheets update to match, so work reaches whoever holds the role now.

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in Lever creates the matching user in Google Sheets with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

What you can sync between Google Sheets and Lever

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.

Google Sheets objects Lever objects How this pairing syncs
Cell values Untyped by default, so syncs handle type coercion for dates and numbers. Requisitions Headcount/requisition records with custom requisition fields, tied to Postings; read via GET /requisitions and synced to an HRIS to reconcile approved headcount against open roles. Cell values is specific to Google Sheets and Requisitions to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Spreadsheets The file-level container a sync connects to, identified by spreadsheet ID. Offers Offer records attached to an Opportunity with status and offer-form fields; exposed read-only through GET /opportunities/:id/offers, so they sync outbound to an HRIS or onboarding system when a candidate reaches the offer stage. Spreadsheets is specific to Google Sheets and Offers to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sheets (tabs) Individual worksheets, typically mapped one-to-one to a synced table. Users Lever team members (recruiters, hiring managers) with configurable roles; can be created via POST /users, deactivated, and reactivated through the API. Sheets (tabs) is specific to Google Sheets and Users to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Treated as records; a header row usually defines field names. Stages Pipeline stage definitions that Opportunities move through; read to model funnel state and stage transitions in a database. Rows is specific to Google Sheets and Stages to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ranges Addressed in A1 notation for batched reads and writes. Feedback Interview feedback and scorecard forms attached to Opportunities; created via POST /opportunities/:id/feedback and consolidated into a warehouse for interviewer analytics. Ranges is specific to Google Sheets and Feedback to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Named ranges Stable references that keep sync mappings valid when the grid moves. Interviews Scheduled interview panel events with times and interviewers; read for scheduling reporting and time-to-hire metrics, and creatable via the panels endpoint. Named ranges is specific to Google Sheets and Interviews to Lever — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Sheets and Lever

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.

Google Sheets Lever Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Google Sheets for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Lever through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Lever Google Sheets Sub-second propagation

DetectionLever notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for candidate and application lifecycle events (applicationCreated, candidateStageChange, candidateArchiveStateChange, candidateHired,.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Google Sheets through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Sheets: Subject to per-minute read and write quotas per project and per user, so large syncs are batched.
  • Lever: 10 requests/second per API key with a token-bucket burst to ~20/s; POSTs that create candidates/applications are throttled to roughly 2/second. Sustained overage returns 429 with Retry-After. List endpoints are cursor-paginated at up to 100 records per page.
