Connect AI Agents and Google Sheets

Many spreadsheets hold text that someone has to read, sort or rewrite. FlowMattic's AI Agents step does that work as rows arrive: it reads the row, decides, and writes the answer back. Use it to categorise feedback, translate product lines, write a weekly summary or answer questions from your own sheet, with the AI provider you already use.

1. TriggerNew Spreadsheet Row

2. ActionExecute Agent

When Google Sheets fires New Spreadsheet Row, FlowMattic runs Execute Agent in AI Agents with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

AI Agents and Google Sheets workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Categorise each new row and write the label back

Feedback, support requests or survey answers get a category and priority from the agent, written into columns on the same row so the sheet can be sorted.

New Spreadsheet RowExecute AgentUpdate Row

Write a weekly report from a metrics tab

Every Monday the agent reads last week's numbers, writes a plain summary of trends and odd values, and adds it to a Reports tab.

ScheduleGet Row DataExecute AgentAdd New Row

Clean messy webhook data before it becomes a row

Leads from another tool arrive with mixed casing and odd phone formats. The agent tidies the fields so every row in the sheet looks the same.

WebhookExecute AgentAdd New Row

Translate a cell when the row is marked ready

When someone sets a Translate column to yes, the agent translates the product text on that row and writes it into the language column.

Update Specific Column ValueExecute AgentUpdate Cell Data

Answer pricing questions from your own price sheet

A question arrives by webhook from your site or chat tool. The workflow reads the price list and the agent answers using only those rows.

WebhookGet Row DataExecute AgentOutgoing Webhook

Fill a content calendar with ideas each month

On the first of the month the agent drafts a list of post ideas as JSON, and the list is imported into the calendar tab for the team to pick from.

ScheduleExecute AgentImport CSV or JSON to Existing Sheet

Set up: categorise new rows

You will end with a workflow that gives every new row a category and priority written by an AI agent.

Add columns for the answer
Next to your data, add empty Category and Priority columns for the agent to fill.
Connect Google Sheets and an AI provider
Add a Google Sheets connection under Connects in FlowMattic and set up the AI provider you want the agent to use.
Trigger on new rows
Create a workflow with New Spreadsheet Row, choose the sheet and add a test row.
Instruct the agent
Add AI Agents with Execute Agent, describe the categories you allow, and ask for the answer in a fixed format.
Write it back
Add Update Row for the same row, map the agent's category and priority, test and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

AI Agents has no trigger. Workflows start from a Google Sheets trigger, a Schedule or a Webhook, and the agent runs as a step.
Ask the agent for a fixed format such as JSON and split it with JSON Parser before mapping, so each value lands in the right column.
Use New Spreadsheet Row, not New Or Updated Spreadsheet Row, when the agent writes back to the same sheet, or each update can start the workflow again.
Agent answers can be wrong. Keep a column for a human to confirm anything that goes to customers.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

AI Agents and Google Sheets connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Choose your own AI provider

The agent can use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral and other providers, so you are not tied to one model.

Rows pass through your server

Sheet data goes to the provider you pick from your own WordPress site, not through another automation service.

Long sheets cost no more runs

FlowMattic runs are unlimited, so you pay only your AI provider for the work the agent does.

Common questions

Which AI models can the agent use?

The AI Agents integration supports several providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, xAI, Groq, DeepSeek, Perplexity and OpenRouter. Pick one when you set up the step.

Can the agent process rows that are already in the sheet?

Yes. Start with Schedule, read the rows with Get Row Data, loop with Iterator and run Execute Agent and Update Row inside the loop.

How do I stop the agent writing nonsense into the sheet?

Give it a short list of allowed answers, ask for a fixed format and add a Filter that drops any answer outside the list before Update Row.

Can the agent use the sheet as reference data?

Yes. Read the reference rows with Get Row Data or Lookup Row Data before the agent step and include them in its instructions.

Can the result go somewhere besides the sheet?

Yes. After Execute Agent you can add any step, such as an email, a Slack message or an Outgoing Webhook to another app.
