Frequently asked questions

What teams ask before they choose

What is the difference between Sheetgo and Power Automate?

Power Automate supports cloud flows, desktop bots, approvals, and process mining across Microsoft 365 and other systems. Sheetgo Workflows helps teams standardize repeatable processes on their existing Google Sheets and Excel files. It includes forms, approvals, dashboards, and document generation, while your spreadsheet data stays in your own storage.

Does Power Automate work with Google Sheets?

Yes. Power Automate has a Standard Google Sheets connector. Microsoft’s documentation lists no triggers for it and says users cannot select files in shared drives. Sheetgo Workflows connects Google Sheets and Excel files in the same workflow.

Do I have to migrate my spreadsheets to use Sheetgo?

No. Sheetgo connects to your existing Google Sheets, Excel, and CSV files across Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Dropbox. Your files stay in your own storage, and your team keeps working in them.

Does Sheetgo have AI agents?

Yes. Sheetgo Virtual Employees are AI agents with defined job descriptions, such as inventory or finance operations. They work in Google Sheets, Google Workspace, and connected systems, and take requests and report back in Slack, Gemini Enterprise, and Google Chat. A person approves consequential actions, and Sheetgo logs every action. The AI Processor also cleans, translates, and summarizes data inside your workflows.

Is Sheetgo suitable for large organizations?

Yes. Enterprise plans for Sheetgo Automations and Sheetgo Workflows add SSO, Google Workspace domain-wide delegation, central admin, and data governance. They also include an SLA and a dedicated account manager. Sheetgo is SOC 2 Type II (audited by BDO), GDPR, and CASA Tier 3 compliant. It doesn’t store copies of your file content. Core infrastructure runs in the United States; you can choose the United States or Europe for AI processing. Teams at Spotify, PepsiCo, and Nvidia use Sheetgo.

Does Sheetgo only work with spreadsheets?

No. Spreadsheets are Sheetgo’s core, but it also connects to business systems. BigQuery works as both a source and a destination. The API connector pulls data from apps such as Salesforce, HubSpot, and QuickBooks, and webhooks receive data from other apps.

Does Sheetgo only run on a schedule?

Sheetgo supports schedules and event triggers. Schedules run from every 15 minutes to once a year. On plans with smart triggers, workflows can also run when someone submits a form, another app sends a webhook, another workflow finishes, or a Google Drive file or folder changes (in preview). You can run workflows manually at any time.

Is there a free plan?

Sheetgo Workflows has no free plan, but you can try it free for 14 days. Sheetgo Automations has a free plan for spreadsheet automations. Power Automate has a free license for cloud flows with standard connectors and offers a trial.
