Connect Uploadcare and Google Sheets

Uploadcare handles the uploads on your site or app and serves them from its CDN. FlowMattic writes each new file to Google Sheets from your WordPress site, with its name, type, size and link. Product teams and content managers get a file register they can search, sort and hand to colleagues who never open Uploadcare.

When Uploadcare fires New File Uploaded, FlowMattic runs Add New Row in Google Sheets with the data from that event.

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

Uploadcare 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.

Ready-made template

Add every new Uploadcare file to a sheet

Each upload becomes a row with file name, UUID, type, size and CDN link, so you can find a file again without searching the Uploadcare dashboard.

New File UploadedAdd New Row

View the template

Sort images, documents and videos into tabs

A Router reads the file's MIME type and writes images, PDFs and videos to separate tabs, which makes each list shorter to review.

New File UploadedRouterAdd New Row

Show file sizes in megabytes

Sizes arrive in bytes. Number Formatter divides and rounds them, so the sheet shows which uploads use the most storage at a glance.

New File UploadedNumber FormatterAdd New Row

Store a thumbnail link for image previews

Text Formatter adds a resize operation to the CDN URL. Use that link in an IMAGE formula and the sheet shows a small preview of each picture.

New File UploadedText FormatterAdd New Row

File uploads under the month they arrived

Date/Time Formatter turns the upload date into a month name used as the sheet name, so storage reviews and clean-ups go month by month.

New File UploadedDate/Time FormatterAdd New Row

Log only files above a size limit

A Filter passes uploads larger than the size you set, giving you a short list of heavy files to compress or remove.

New File UploadedFilterAdd New Row

Set up: each upload as a row

At the end, every file uploaded to your Uploadcare project is added to your sheet as one row.

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

Keep the file UUID in its own column. It is the stable reference to the file, while names can repeat across uploads.
CDN links in the sheet open the file for anyone who has them. Share the sheet only with people who may see the uploaded files.
Field names depend on the event Uploadcare sends, so the mapping above is an example. Check a captured upload before naming columns.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

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

A register anyone can search

Editors, support staff and clients find files in a familiar sheet instead of asking for dashboard access.

Storage use you can see

Sizes, types and months in columns make it clear which uploads take up space and when.

Busy upload days, same price

FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so thousands of uploads a day cost nothing extra to log.

Common questions

How do I log Uploadcare uploads in Google Sheets?

Create a FlowMattic workflow with the Uploadcare New File Uploaded trigger, upload a test file, then add Google Sheets Add New Row and map the file name, UUID, type, size and link.

Can the sheet show image thumbnails?

Yes. Build a preview link from the CDN URL with Text Formatter and store it in a column. An IMAGE formula in the next column displays it.

Can I keep images and documents apart?

Yes. Add a Router on the MIME type with one Add New Row step per tab, such as Images, Documents and Video.

Can I also save a copy of each file?

The CDN link is stored in the sheet. To keep your own copy, add an API request or Outgoing Webhook step that sends the link to the storage you use.
