Integration
MySQL to Google Sheets Sync
Automatically sync MySQL query results to Google Sheets on a schedule
Keep your Google Sheets up to date with live MySQL data. Define the queries you need, set a sync schedule, and AI for Database writes the results directly to your spreadsheets. Your team gets fresh data for reporting, analysis, and collaboration without any manual export.
This integration is ideal for teams that rely on Google Sheets for weekly reports, executive summaries, or cross-department data sharing. Every sync overwrites or appends data based on your preference, so your spreadsheets always reflect the latest state of your database.
Setup guide
Connect your MySQL database
Enter your MySQL host, port, database name, and credentials. We support MySQL 5.7+, MariaDB, and Amazon RDS.
Authorize Google Sheets
Sign in with your Google account and grant AI for Database permission to read and write to your Google Sheets.
Define your query
Write the SQL query or describe the data you need in plain English. AI for Database generates the query for you.
Select the destination sheet
Choose an existing Google Sheet or create a new one. Specify the worksheet tab and starting cell.
Configure sync settings
Set the sync frequency (hourly, daily, weekly) and choose whether to overwrite or append data on each run.
Test and activate
Run a test sync to verify the data lands correctly in your sheet, then activate the scheduled sync.
Configuration options
sync_frequencyHow often data is synced from MySQL to Google Sheets.
Example: daily at 6:00 AM UTC
write_modeWhether to overwrite the sheet or append new rows.
Example: overwrite | append

Example workflows
Daily revenue report
Sync yesterday's revenue by product category to a shared Google Sheet every morning at 7 AM for the executive team.
Weekly customer export
Export new customers from the past week with their plan, signup date, and referral source every Monday.
Inventory snapshot
Write current inventory levels for all products to a sheet every 6 hours so the procurement team can plan restocking.
Marketing campaign metrics
Pull campaign performance data (clicks, conversions, revenue) into a sheet daily for the marketing team's analysis.
Troubleshooting
Sync fails with permission error
Re-authorize Google Sheets access. Ensure the Google account has edit permission on the destination spreadsheet.
Data types are not preserved
Google Sheets may auto-format numbers and dates. Use a custom number format in the sheet or wrap values in a TEXT formula.
Sheet has too many rows
Use overwrite mode instead of append, or add a WHERE clause to limit your query to the most recent data.
Query returns no data
Test the query directly against your MySQL database. Check date ranges and filter conditions.
