Setting Up the Integration Between Hotjar and Google Sheets

The process leverages Zapier to create Zaps, which are automated workflows that connect your apps and services. This integration enables the creation of new worksheets, the addition of new rows for survey responses, feedback, and recordings, and the automation of email workflows. Here's what you'll need to get started:

1. Zapier account to create and manage Zaps.
2. Hotjar account with access to survey responses, feedback, and recordings.
3. Google Sheets account for creating and managing spreadsheets.
4. An understanding of the workflows you wish to automate, such as adding rows for new feedback or creating new worksheets for recordings.
5. Use of Zapier's templates or knowledge of creating custom Zaps to integrate Hotjar with Google Sheets according to your needs.

Hotjar and Google Sheets Integration

Hotjar's integration with Google Sheets through Zapier opens up a variety of ways to streamline and automate workflows. By connecting these two powerful tools, users can ensure that their data insights are organized and up-to-date without manual intervention. Whether you're looking to track new survey responses, feedback, or user recordings, the integration can be customized to fit your needs.

Automating Workflows

With Zapier, you can create automated workflows—known as Zaps—between Hotjar and Google Sheets. A Zap starts with a trigger, such as a 'new survey response in Hotjar,' and then performs an action, like creating a new row in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This automation can save a significant amount of time and effort.

Creating New Worksheets and Rows

Users have the flexibility to set up Zaps that create new worksheets within a Google Sheets spreadsheet whenever a new survey response is received in Hotjar. Additionally, the integration can be configured to add new rows for each piece of feedback or for every new recording from Hotjar, ensuring that all data is captured and easily accessible.

Utilizing Zapier's Templates

For those new to Zapier or looking for a quick way to integrate Hotjar with Google Sheets, Zapier's templates provide pre-made workflows that can be easily customized. These example workflows can help users get started with creating new rows in Google Sheets for new Hotjar survey responses, feedback, and recordings.

Alternative: Sourcetable Integration

In addition to using Zapier, Sourcetable offers an alternative way to synchronize live data from Hotjar and almost any other app or database directly into Google Sheets. Sourcetable's integration capabilities provide users with real-time insights and the ability to manage their data seamlessly without the need for manual updates.
