Why connect Google Sheets to Claude?

Your plan lives in Sheets and your results live in the ad platforms. Claude with Lemonado reads both, so it can tell you which channels are off pace against the plan without anyone copying numbers between tabs.

  • 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.

    Ask Claude about Google Sheets

Good to know

  • Custom connectors work on Claude Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Free accounts can add one.
  • On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web. Members then connect their own accounts.
  • Remote connectors belong to your Claude account, so the same connection shows up in Claude Desktop and Cowork. Requests come from Anthropic's cloud, not your computer.
