Import Product Data From Google Sheets

Add your product catalog directly to Describely from Google Sheets!

With Describely's Google Sheets integration, importing your product data is easier than ever. This feature lets you connect a Google Sheet to Describely, automatically mapping data and streamlining your content generation.

Important: This connection is a one-way import. You can import data from Google Sheets into Describely but cannot export data back to Google Sheets at this time.

Connect to Google Sheets

  1. From the dashboard, click Import Products. 
  2. Select the Import from Google Sheets option

  3. At the bottom, click the green Authorize Google Sheets button.
  4. Sign in with your Google account and grant Describely read-only access to your spreadsheets. Voila!

Add your spreadsheet

After authorizing Google Sheets, follow these steps to upload your spreadsheet:

  1. Click the green Browse Google Sheets button and choose the file you'd like to import.
  2. Specify the sheet name and data range (e.g., Sheet1!A1:F100) that contains your product data. If done correctly, you’ll see a preview of your spreadsheet below.
  3. Optional: If you changed the default range in the step above, make sure to click Reload Sheet!
  4. Click on the row that contains your column headers (typically the first row). This helps Describely understand the structure of your data.

Map data & finalize

  1. At the bottom, click Continue to Field Mapping.
  2. Choose how to import these products.
    • Create new products

    • Skip duplicates

    • Merge with existing products

  3. Select the product catalog you want to import into, or create a new one by clicking Create New Catalog.
  4. Describely’s AI will attempt to automatically map your sheet’s columns to the platform’s default fields. Here, you can:
    • Accept AI-suggested matches
    • Manually map unmatched columns to custom fields
    • Leave unnecessary fields (like inventory levels or internal IDs) unmapped to exclude them from content generation

Tip: You can map remaining columns as custom properties in bulk or one by one.

5.   Once everything is set, click the Import from Google Sheets button.

🎉 That’s it! Your Google Sheets data has now been imported, and you're ready to start creating content.
