Why connect Google Sheets to Perplexity?

Perplexity is built for answers with sources, so it can put your own numbers next to benchmarks, platform changes and news it finds on the web. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Google Sheets media plans, targets, offline sales and UTMs, so it can check spend against the media plan with today's numbers.

  • 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.
