Connecting Google Sheets and other spreadsheets
Overskill has no built-in spreadsheet sync. What actually works is a one-time CSV import, a CSV export, and integrations your app can call.
Short version: there is no built-in spreadsheet sync feature. Your app's data and a Google Sheet are not kept in step with each other automatically.
That surprises some people, so here is the honest picture of what you can and can't do today.
What is not available
There is no live sync between your app and Google Sheets, Airtable, Excel Online, or Notion. That means:
- No setting that keeps a sheet and a table matching each other
- No automatic refresh on a timer
- No
changes in the sheet appear in the app
behaviour, in either direction
If you've read otherwise anywhere, that was wrong and we've corrected it.
What does work
Bringing spreadsheet data in — once. You can import a CSV into a table. It's a one-time copy: the rows land in your app and the original file is no longer connected to them. See Importing data.
Getting your data back out — as a snapshot. You can download any table as a CSV whenever you like, free. See Exporting your data.
If you need the two to match, you re-import or re-export by hand. For a lot of apps — a price list you update monthly, a catalog you refresh now and then — that's genuinely enough.
Integrations your app can use
Separately from your app's own tables, apps can connect to outside services through the Integrations catalog, and Google Sheets is one of them. That lets the app you're building do a specific job — appending a row to a sheet when someone submits a form, for example. It's written into your app as a feature, so you'd ask for it in the editor:
When someone completes the signup form, add a row to my Google Sheet.
Two honest caveats. This is a per-app feature the AI builds for you, not a switch you flip, so what it does is exactly what you asked for and no more. And integrations aren't enabled on every account yet — if you don't see the option, a team member can tell you where things stand for you.
