Emra + Google Sheets
Your bots read, write and tidy the Google Sheets you link to, and set up new spreadsheets when you ask.
What your bots can do in Google Sheets
Connect Emra with Google Sheets to use 24/7, always-on AI agents that work like your team.

Open sheets from their links
Share a link and a bot reads ranges as rows, or as records named by the header row.
- 02
Add and update rows
Append rows, write over a range, or update the row that matches a key and add it if missing.
- 03
Reshape a spreadsheet
Add, rename, copy and delete sheets, insert or remove rows and columns, and find and replace.
- 04
Format and freeze
Merge cells, freeze header rows, and apply formatting and conditional rules when you ask.
Things to ask
- Add today's signups to the Leads sheet I shared
- Which rows in the Budget sheet are over $5,000?
- Freeze the header row and highlight overdue dates in red
Add Google Sheets to a bot
It takes about a minute, and each person signs in once.
To a bot you have
- 1Open the bot’s settings and click + under Apps
- 2Choose Google Sheets and add it to the bot
- 3Sign in with your own Google Sheets account
To a new bot
- 1Click New bot, name it and say what it’s for
- 2Click Connect apps beside its name and choose Google Sheets
- 3Add it to the bot, then sign in with your own Google Sheets account
Then ask. The bot works in Google Sheets as you, with your access.
Your own sign-in
Each person signs in to Google Sheets themselves. A bot uses the sign-in of whoever is talking to it, never a teammate’s.
Only the bots you choose
A bot can use Google Sheets only once it has been added to that bot.
Switch off any action
Turn off any Google Sheets action for your sign-in, or remove it from a bot, whenever you like.
Questions about Google Sheets and Emra
How do I use AI agents with Google Sheets?
Add Google Sheets to an Emra bot and sign in, then ask the bot in plain words, in its chat or in Slack. It is an AI agent that works in Google Sheets as you, and it can run on a schedule you set.
What AI agents work with Google Sheets?
Emra bots do. Each is an always-on AI agent that works like a member of your team, and it connects to Google Sheets alongside the other apps you use, so one bot can carry a task from one app to the next.
Do Emra bots have their own computer?
Yes. Every Emra bot has its own computer and web browser in the cloud. It works in Google Sheets through this integration, and it can use any website your team can for the work that happens elsewhere.
Can AI agents work in Google Sheets around the clock?
Yes. Emra bots are always on. Give one a schedule and it does the work in Google Sheets at the times you set, or ask it anything, at any hour.
How do I connect Google Sheets to Emra?
Open a bot’s settings, click + under Apps and choose Google Sheets. Add it to the bot, then sign in with your Google Sheets account. It takes about a minute.
Whose Google Sheets account does a bot use?
The account of whoever is talking to it. Each teammate signs in with their own, and a bot never uses one person’s sign-in for someone else.
Can I limit what a bot does in Google Sheets?
Yes. Any Google Sheets action can be switched off for your own sign-in, and Google Sheets can be removed from a bot at any time.
Is there anything to install?
No. Your bots reach Google Sheets from Emra’s cloud, so you only sign in.
