How to connect Google Sheets to PostgreSQL
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Google Sheets account
- An active PostgreSQL account with read/write permissions
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate Google Sheets
Click "Add Connection" and select Google Sheets from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Google Sheets's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
Authenticate PostgreSQL
Same process for PostgreSQL. Click "Add Connection," select PostgreSQL, and authorize access. Grant Arahi read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in google sheets or new record created in postgresql. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: insert record in postgresql. Map the data fields between Google Sheets and PostgreSQL so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Google Sheets and PostgreSQL. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
Why connect Google Sheets and PostgreSQL?
Manually moving data between Google Sheets and PostgreSQL is error-prone and eats into your team's productive hours. Connecting them through Arahi eliminates that overhead — events in one app trigger actions in the other automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about connecting Google Sheets and PostgreSQL.
How do I connect Google Sheets to PostgreSQL?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Google Sheets and PostgreSQL via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing productivity events to databases actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Google Sheets and PostgreSQL?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Google Sheets events to PostgreSQL actions, trigger PostgreSQL updates when Google Sheets data changes, create PostgreSQL records from Google Sheets events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Google Sheets and PostgreSQL integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Google Sheets-to-PostgreSQL workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Google Sheets data secure when connected to PostgreSQL?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Google Sheets or PostgreSQL passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your productivity data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Google Sheets and PostgreSQL?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Sheets or PostgreSQL. For example, create a workflow where Google Sheets events update PostgreSQL, and a separate one where PostgreSQL changes sync back to Google Sheets. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Google Sheets and PostgreSQL?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Google Sheets and PostgreSQL, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
