Zapier is a widely-used automation platform that enables users to create straightforward, trigger-based workflows between different tools, known as "Zaps" (automated workflows), you can sync data between Notion and Google Sheets without manual intervention.

Zapier is a trigger-based system, meaning that every action must be initiated by a specific trigger. To import data from a Notion database into a sheet, you need to create a trigger that activates whenever you create or update a database row in Notion. Similarly, to export data from a sheet to Notion, you need to create a trigger that activates when you create or update a row in the sheet. Due to the way the platform operates, full two-way synchronization between Notion and Google Sheets is not possible.

Zapier's free plan is sufficient to get you started, while the paid plan is available for $19.99 per month.

• Automates repetitive tasks.

• Generous free plan

9. Manual CSV Imports and Exports: ( Free )

While automation tools are convenient, sometimes a simple manual export and import of data can get the job done. Both Notion and Google Sheets support CSV exports and imports, allowing you to move data between the platforms as needed. This method is especially useful for those who only need to transfer data occasionally.

How it works:

• Export your Notion database as a CSV file.

• Import the CSV into Google Sheets (or vice versa).

• Use this method when immediate, automated syncing isn’t necessary.

Why use it:

• A simple and no-frills approach for basic data transfers.

• Doesn’t require additional tools or plugins.

10. Embed Sheet in Notion: ( Free )

• Copy the shareable link of your Google Sheet.

• Type “/embed“ into a Notion page and Paste the link.

• The embedded sheet updates automatically when changes are made in Google Sheets.

• Eliminates the need to switch between apps.

• Maintains a live connection without manual imports or third-party tools.
