Google Sheets Support #52

Closed orschiro closed 1 year ago

orschiro commented 2 years ago

Hello all,

Would it be possible to provide webhook support for Google Sheets.

That would allow it to automatically export data to Google Sheets to perform some quick statstical analysis.

Thanks for your consideration!

I know this is an old issue, but I'll reply with my thought process behind why we haven't done this & probably won't.

Webhooks send an API request to a service. Google Sheets cannot create rows from webhook data without going through an intermediary service (eg. Zapier) since it requires Google OAuth and more code, defeating the purpose of a simple 'webhooks' extension. I see there are addons such as https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/webhooks_for_sheets/860288437469.

However, this requires either fine-tuning the payload sent or sending the entire thing. My premium addition to this extension allows for sending full data through webhooks, but I don't think making anything specific for this use-case is in the scope of this extension.
