If you’re a productivity enthusiast, chances are you’ve already tried Notion. With its task lists, calendars, widgets, and wikis, Notion offers everything you need. With over 30 million users and constant growth, Notion has become essential.
You may be using Google Sheets to track your data but prefer collaborating with your team on Notion. Or perhaps you use both applications for different purposes and want to integrate them into a single workspace. Whatever your situation, we have the solution.
Google Sheets and Notion are two powerful tools that work perfectly well independently. But when you combine them, they become an unbeatable productivity force. There are several ways to integrate Google Sheets into Notion, allowing you to access your data without leaving your Notion workspace.
Method 1: Use the “Embed” Block in Notion
The first method we’ll discuss is the simplest: how to integrate a Google spreadsheet into a Notion page using the “Embed” block from Google Drive. This method works for all types of Google Drive content, but we’ll focus on Google Sheets.
To get started, type “/embed” or click the “+” icon at the bottom of your Notion page and select “Embed.” Then, choose the “Google Drive” option from the dropdown menu and follow the instructions to connect your Google Drive account.
Once your account is connected, you can embed any Google Drive file by copying and pasting the link to your file and clicking “Embed Google Drive.”
Another option is to type “/embed” and select the Google Drive option. From there, you can either paste a link or choose a file to embed in the Google Drive viewer by clicking “Select.” And voila, you’re done!
If you integrate your Google spreadsheet using the built-in Google Drive integration, you may notice that the preview doesn’t automatically update and may show a preview image of a strange part of the screen. If you want to keep the preview up to date and display a specific area of your sheet, check out Method 2 below.
Method 2: Use Plus for All Your Google Sheets-Notion Integrations
While Notion offers a simple and quick integration of Google spreadsheets via Google Drive, you may want more control over the preview inside Notion, and it would probably be helpful for the integration to stay updated.
With Plus, you can integrate anything into Notion without the need for complex integrations. Here’s how easy it is to use Plus:
Step 1: Set up your account and install the extension
To use Plus, install the Plus extension. After installation, open any Google spreadsheet and click the Plus icon at the top right of your browser.
Step 2: Take a screenshot with Plus
Click “Take a screenshot.” Draw a frame around the area you want to capture, as if you were taking a regular screenshot. Once the screenshot is taken, a window will appear on the screen.
Step 3: Embed the screenshot into your Notion document
Your Google spreadsheet is now available in Notion! To embed it, simply copy the URL of your screenshot into your Notion document.
When you click the “Create integration” button in Notion, your Google spreadsheet will be displayed.
You can adjust the size and positioning of the sheet based on your preferences or the layout requirements of the document, making it easy to add new data without worrying about complex integrations.
The best part? A simple screenshot actually embeds your Google spreadsheet, and it stays updated.
