Google Sheets
Your spreadsheet is full of leads. Your CRM should be too. Connect Google Sheets and Positive User through Zapier to import contacts from spreadsheets, export CRM activity to sheets for reporting, and keep both systems in sync. A new row creates a contact. A new contact creates a row. Your team works in the tool they prefer, and the data stays consistent.
Spreadsheets and CRM, Always in Sync
Import Contacts From Spreadsheets Automatically
Your sales team collects leads at a trade show and enters them in a Google Sheet. A partner sends you a list of prospects in a shared spreadsheet. A form tool exports submissions to a sheet. With Zapier, every new row added to the bottom of the spreadsheet creates or updates a contact in Positive User with the mapped fields. No manual CSV import, no copy-pasting, no forgotten rows.
Export CRM Activity to Sheets for Reporting
When something happens in Positive User (a new contact is created, a deal moves forward, a tag is applied, an event fires), Zapier adds a row to your Google Sheet. Your ops team gets a live log of marketing and sales activity in a familiar format. Build pivot tables, charts, and dashboards on top of your CRM data without learning a new reporting tool.
Two-Way Sync for Collaborative Workflows
Some teams manage contacts in Positive User. Others live in spreadsheets. With separate Zaps for each direction, both stay aligned. A row added to the sheet creates a contact in Positive User. A contact created in Positive User adds a row to the sheet. Your marketing team works in the CRM, your ops team works in the spreadsheet, and nobody re-enters data.
Three simple steps to get started
Connect Both Accounts in Zapier
Log into Zapier and create a new Zap. Select Google Sheets as one app and "User.com" as the other. Authorize both accounts.
Choose Your Direction and Workflow
For Sheets → PU: use "New Spreadsheet Row" paired with "Create/Update User." For PU → Sheets: use "New User" or "New Event" paired with "Create Spreadsheet Row."
Map Fields, Test, and Activate
Map spreadsheet columns to Positive User contact attributes (or the reverse). Run a test. Turn on the Zap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need coding skills?
No. You select your spreadsheet, map columns to Positive User attributes, and activate. No code required.
New rows must be at the bottom of the sheet. Why?
Google Sheets triggers on Zapier only detect rows added to the bottom. Inserting rows in the middle or at the top will not fire the trigger. Always append new data at the end. Avoid blank rows between your data, as Zapier uses the last row with values to determine where the sheet ends.
How do I prevent infinite loops with two-way sync?
Use Zapier filters. For example, add a "synced" column to your sheet. When a row is synced to Positive User, mark it as synced. Then filter your Zap to only trigger on rows where the synced column is empty. This prevents one Zap from firing the other.
How does this compare to CSV import?
CSV import is manual and one-time. The Google Sheets integration is continuous and automatic. Use CSV for initial migration or large one-time uploads. Use Sheets for ongoing, incremental sync.
Are there size limits on the spreadsheet?
Yes. Triggers are limited to spreadsheets of 30MB or less. Actions can handle up to 50MB. For very large datasets, consider the Positive User REST API or CSV import.
Is the data GDPR-compliant?
Google Sheets (part of Google Workspace), Zapier, and Positive User all offer GDPR compliance tools. Make sure your spreadsheet access controls and sharing settings align with your data processing obligations.
