How can I begin syncing BoomTown to Google Sheets?
In this article, we will go step by step on the process of setting up the integration between BoomTown and Google Sheets, lets get started!
1.) If you haven't already, you'll want to access the first page on onboarding here.
2.) At this point, you'll want to click 'Connect BoomTown' and then enter your Boomtown credentials and follow the prompts to allow API Nation to connect to BoomTown:
3.) On this step, you'll be prompted to choose which Google Sheets connection you'd like to use, if you already have the desired Google Sheets account connected, you're able to select this one. For example's sake, we'll go ahead and connect a Google Sheets connection for the first time below:
4.) Once you've connected Google Sheets, we are almost ready to begin syncing, but lets review the options you can select:
- Select Category (Optional): This option will allow you to specify which 'Category' of leads from BoomTown you'd like to sync to Google Sheets, if you would like them all to sync regardless of their Category, select 'Select Category'.
- Select Source (Optional): This option will allow you to specify which 'Source' of leads from BoomTown you'd like to sync to Google Sheets, if you would like them all to sync regardless of their source, select 'Select Source'.
- Select Lead Type (Optional): This option will allow you to specify which 'Lead Type' of leads from BoomTown you'd like to sync to Google Sheets, if you would like them all to sync regardless of their lead type, select 'Select Lead Type'.
- Sync All on First Run: This option decides if you'd like to sync all of your contacts from BoomTown; if this option is left unchecked, the integration will only sync contacts from BoomTown as contacts are created or updated in BoomTown; generally speaking we do recommend checking this box if you'd like to receive all of your data, but the choice is yours!
- Sheet Name to Create: This will give you control over what your Google Sheet will be named, the default value will be 'BoomTown contacts'.
- Mapping: The mapping of the integration will come with some preset fields that are already linked together, but you are free to map them however you like.
In the example below, we will check off all of the boxes/set the dropdowns to sync 'all' and then click on 'Start Sync', once we click this button we will be prompted to enter our payment information for the monthly subscription for this service (NOTE: If you already have a payment method on file, it will default to this payment method):
5.) At this point we are all setup!
From here, we will begin syncing data into spreadsheets within the Google account that you selected, so be sure you're logged into the correct Google account after visiting this link.
