In shortConnect Google Sheets in Backend → Cloud by signing in with Google. MonstarX's builder can then find spreadsheets and read their cells in any mode, and add rows or change cells when you ask in Build mode. Your app never gets your Google account.
Read spreadsheets and add or update rows.

Google Sheets is Google’s spreadsheet app. Connect it to a project and MonstarX’s builder — the AI you chat with — can read the sheets your business already runs on: build a page that matches your Orders columns, fill the app’s sample data from your real price list, or add rows to a tracking sheet when you ask.
This is a business tool: MonstarX uses your spreadsheets for you. The app you build never gets your Google account. If you want your app itself to read or write a sheet every day, ask MonstarX to build that feature — it gives the app its own access.
What can MonstarX do with it?
Section titled “What can MonstarX do with it?”| What MonstarX can do | When |
|---|---|
| Find spreadsheets — list the Google Sheets in your Drive by name, with their links and when they last changed | Any mode |
Read cells — any range, such as Orders!A1:F200 | Any mode |
| Add rows below the data in a sheet | Only in Build mode, when you asked |
| Change cells — write new values into a range | Only in Build mode, when you asked |
What it never does: delete a spreadsheet or a tab, clear a sheet, or change who a spreadsheet is shared with.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- A Google account with Google Sheets.
- You own the MonstarX project. Only the owner can connect or disconnect a tool.
- If your company uses Google Workspace, your admin may have to allow MonstarX before you can sign in.
Connect your account
Section titled “Connect your account”There are no keys to copy. You sign in with Google, and Google asks you to allow:
- See, edit and create your Google Sheets spreadsheets — used to read cells and, when you ask, to add rows or change cells.
- See information about your Google Drive files — names and dates only, not their contents. Used to find spreadsheets by name.
Google also shares your name and email address, so MonstarX can show which account is connected.

Ask MonstarX to use it
Section titled “Ask MonstarX to use it”| You type | What happens |
|---|---|
| “Read the columns of my ‘Leads’ sheet and build a leads page that matches them.” | MonstarX finds the spreadsheet, reads the header row and a few rows, and builds the page. |
| “Use the prices in my ‘Class prices 2026’ sheet for the pricing page.” | It reads the cells and puts those prices on the page. |
| “Add a row to my ‘Launch checklist’ sheet: ‘QA passed’, today’s date, ‘Done’.” | In Build mode, it adds that row below the existing ones. |
| “Mark rows 4 to 6 of the Status column as ‘Shipped’.” | In Build mode, it writes those cells. |
Security and privacy
Section titled “Security and privacy”- Stays with MonstarX. Your Google sign-in is stored encrypted on MonstarX’s servers. It is never written into your app’s code or given to your app.
- One project. The connection works only in the project where you made it.
- Read as information. MonstarX treats what is in a cell as information, never as instructions.
- Disconnect any time. Click Disconnect beside Google Sheets in BackendCloud and confirm Disconnect Google Sheets from this project?. MonstarX forgets the sign-in and tells Google to cancel its access.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- Values are entered as if you typed them, so
=SUM(B2:B9)becomes a formula and2026-10-01a date. - One change can write up to 1,000 rows of up to 100 cells each.
- Changes are real. Google Sheets keeps a version history (File → Version history) if you want to go back.
- Have an Excel or CSV file instead? Drop it on the Projects page — see Turn a spreadsheet into an app.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Can MonstarX delete my spreadsheet?
No. It can add rows and change cells when you ask, in Build mode. It cannot delete spreadsheets or tabs.
Will my app update the sheet when customers order?
Not through this connection — it is for MonstarX's builder only. Ask MonstarX to build that feature and it gives your app its own access.
Can it read spreadsheets other people shared with me?
Yes. It sees what your Google account can see.
How do I remove MonstarX from my Google account?
Click Disconnect in Backend → Cloud. MonstarX also cancels its access with Google.
