Why connect Google Sheets to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can read a sheet you upload, but that copy goes stale the moment someone edits the original. Through Lemonado it reads the live spreadsheet and your ad data together, so the scorecard or the forecast check is always current.

  • All your Google Sheets data

    Any tab you connect, as a table, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Targets and forecasts, synced from Google Sheets automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "Is the forecast holding?" use Google Sheets and GA4, Google Ads at once.

Before you start

  • A Google Sheets account you can sign in to

    Ask ChatGPT about Google Sheets

    Start a new chat, type @ and pick Lemonado. Sign in to Lemonado when ChatGPT asks. Try "@Lemonado Check the UTM sheet against this month's GA4 campaigns and list any campaign names that aren't in the sheet." Or ask: "Do offline sales follow clicks?" or "Which campaigns break naming rules?"

Good to know

  • Your ChatGPT account and workspace settings decide whether you can add custom MCP servers. Workspace admins can turn it off.
  • Older guides point to Settings → Apps → Developer mode. OpenAI has replaced that flow with Plugins.

What can ChatGPT do with Google Sheets?

ChatGPT reads your Google Sheets numbers when you pick @Lemonado, and writes the update, the summary or the next step for you.

ChatGPT logoChatGPT

@Lemonado Check the UTM sheet against this month's GA4 campaigns and list any campaign names that aren't in the sheet.

7 GA4 campaigns aren't in the sheet. 5 are typos of existing names ("spring_tent" vs "spring_tents") and 2 are new TikTok campaigns nobody added.
