Connecting Google Sheets lets SIA read the tracker you already keep, screen the candidates listed in it, and write results straight back into the same rows. Your spreadsheet stays your spreadsheet, it just stops needing a person to keep it in sync with everything else. ### Connecting Google Sheets

1. In Chat, open **Connectors** from the sidebar 2. Find the **Google Sheets** card and click **Connect Google Sheets** 3. A Google sign-in tab opens — sign in with the account that owns or can access your tracker 4. Review the permissions shown and click **Allow**. This sign-in covers both Sheets and any Drive files that resume links in your tracker point to 5. You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads **Connected** {% hint style="warning" %} Google Sheets is its own separate authorisation — connecting it does not grant access to Gmail, Calendar, or Google Docs, and disconnecting it does not affect those connections. {% endhint %} ### What you can do once connected Once Google Sheets is connected, SIA can treat your spreadsheet as a real part of your hiring pipeline: * **Import a candidate tracker and screen everyone in it** — SIA works out which columns are name, email, phone, LinkedIn, and resume link, and shows you its interpretation before doing anything so you can correct it if needed * **Write results back into your tracker** — matched to existing rows using a column like Email, updating rows that already exist and adding new ones for anyone missing * **Export a shortlist as a spreadsheet** — either a new file or a new tab inside a spreadsheet you already share with a client or hiring manager * **Answer questions about the sheet** — like pulling up one candidate's row or calculating the average score across everyone marked Shortlisted, without you reading through the whole thing * **Tidy up the sheet** — bold a header row, sort by score, bulk-replace a stage name, or add a chart, all without you touching the spreadsheet directly ### Try it in chat * *"Import my applicant tracker and screen everyone for the Senior Backend role."* * *"Write the grades back into my tracker, matched on email."* * *"Export this shortlist to a Google Sheet I can send the client."* * *"What does the tracker say about* [*priya@example.com*](mailto:priya@example.com)*?"* * *"What's the average score of everyone I marked Shortlisted?"*

### A few things to note Every write to a spreadsheet is previewed and confirmed first. Nothing changes in a sheet your team actively works from without your go-ahead. ### Disconnecting Google Sheets 1. Go to **Connectors** in the sidebar 2. On the Google Sheets card, click **Disconnect** This revokes access to Sheets specifically — your other Google connectors, if any, are unaffected. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.senseloaf.ai/sia-chat/sia-for-google-sheets.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
