Google Docs spreadsheets

Custom tracking via a docs spreadsheet. This one would be pretty tricky, but possible if there’s an overwhelming response asking for it.

    I have lots of data in google docs spreadsheets.

    I suppose I’d have to reorder the sheets or create new sheets in my docs to make it easier for Exist to read them.

    Possibly only allow this for Google Forms-based spreadsheets, because those have a fairly strict structure, no?

    I use a very simple format (the one suggested by Google’s data studio, date in column 1 in standard format) to create time series information in Google sheets. All kinds of things can export sheets in a suitable format, including triggers from zapier and ifttt. This would make exist able to accept just about any data. Might be hard to get the meanings from a sheet… Perhaps create a list of exist recognised headings?

    Since Google Sheets are one of the best tools for tracking data, why not to integrate them and make Exist even better than it already is?
