Toolkit & Connectors
Connecting Google Sheets
Overview
Connect Google Sheets so Torki can create a new spreadsheet for you from the chat, with your columns and rows filled in.
Torki cannot change a spreadsheet that already exists.
What it needs
Google Workspace is available on every plan, including Free.
Get started
1. Connect
- Open Toolkit → Connectors and click Google Workspace
- Find Google Sheets and click Connect
- Grant the requested permissions
Google asks for your email address and permission for Torki to work with the files it creates on your Drive. There is no separate Sheets permission, and the Google Drive & Docs row grants the same thing — so either row lets Torki create spreadsheets.
2. Ask for a spreadsheet
"Create a Google Sheet called Expense Report with columns for Date, Category, Amount and Notes".
Say Google Sheets or spreadsheet in the message. If you only ask for a table, Torki shows it in the chat instead.
3. Approve and check
The approval card reads Create spreadsheet, with the line create the Google Sheet "Expense Report". Press Allow once; Torki creates the spreadsheet with a single tab and writes your headers and rows from the first cell. Open the card's link and check the rows landed.
Good to know
Name the columns you want in the same message — Torki writes the header row from what you say. Give it the rows too if you already have them; otherwise it fills in sample rows you will want to replace.
When Torki shows a table as a card in the chat, the card's menu also offers Open in Google Sheets (or Connect Google Sheets if you have not connected Google).
The spreadsheet Torki creates is yours, on your own Drive — disconnecting later does not touch it.
Editing an existing spreadsheet is not supported, and neither is adding rows to one. Torki writes rows once, at the moment it creates the file; after that, edit the sheet in Google Sheets yourself.
To have Torki work with data from a sheet you already had, download it and attach the file to your message.
Controlling it
Creating spreadsheets is the Google Sheets Create tool under Toolkit → Permissions. Set it to Never and neither the chat nor the Open in Google Sheets button will create one.
FAQ
Torki made a table in the chat instead of a spreadsheet.
Say "Google Sheet" or "spreadsheet" in the message.
Can Torki add a row to a sheet it made last week?
No. Rows are written once, at creation.
Can Torki read my existing spreadsheet?
Not from Drive. Download it and attach the file instead.
