    How to import Google Sheets data

    Prepare your Sheet

    Before explaining the process of importing data using Google Sheets, it is important to consider the following information:

    • Number: decimal have to be separate with a point, not a comma, for example 1000.99
    • Date time: the format of date time is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS", for example "2021-06-28 18:50:32"
    • It is limited to the first 10000 rows

    All column headings should be on the first row (at cell A1) and in lowercase, here is the list of columns:

    • id: (optional) the ID of your transaction, if you don't provide an ID, we will give the transaction a random ID
    • clicked: (optional) date time of the click
    • sold: date time of the transaction
    • revenue: revenue of the transaction
    • price: (optional) price of the transaction
    • status: status of the transaction, it can be confirmed, pending or declined
    • custom_1: (optional) a custom code
    • custom_2: (optional) a custom code

    Each row will need the columns sold, revenue and status otherwise the row will be ignored during the import.

    If you have not added a transaction id, we will fill in a random id after the import, if you delete it or change it, during the next import a new transaction will be created.

    Create the connection

    Once the Google Sheets is ready, you can create the connection, find the Custom network Google Sheets connection and click on Connect.

    Fill in the name of the connection and an advertiser name, you will find this name in reports and in the advertiser list. If in the future you need to modify the name, edit the connection and change the name. Select the country and the currency.

    Useful tips
