This guide will teach you how to export Google Sheets data to a table using Okta Workflows.

The Google Sheets Read Rows flow gets all the rows from the spreadsheet.

How the flow works

  1. The flow starts with the Tables-Clear Table function card, which clears the table’s previous data.
  2. The Google Sheets-Read All Rows action card reads all rows in the spreadsheet. It returns a list of rows.
  3. The List-For Each function card sends the rows to a helper flow. The helper flow will save each row of data into a Workflows table.

How the flow works

  1. This Helper Flow card receives the Record field, which contains all the data from a single Google Sheets row.
  2. The Object-Get Multiple function card extracts Job ID and First name from the Record JSON object.
  3. The Tables-Create Row function card saves the Job ID and First Name into a table as a new row.
