Google Sheets + Ceres
Connect Google Sheets to Ceres — your AI Growth Officer — so its specialist agents work from your real Google Sheets data. Connect Google Sheets — agents read KPI trackers, pipelines, content calendars; edit (after approval).
What Ceres does with Google Sheets
KPI trackers, pipelines, and content calendars in your Google Sheets.
Append rows and update cells — logging research findings or content status — after your approval. Nothing is written to your Sheets until you approve it.
What Ceres reads from Google Sheets
- KPI and metric trackers — the spreadsheets where you log MRR, signups, traffic, and other growth numbers over time
- Sales and lead pipelines — deal stages, prospect lists, and outreach status laid out in your tabs
- Content calendars — planned posts, articles, and campaigns with their dates, owners, and status columns
- Column headers and tab structure, so agents understand how your sheet is organized before reading a single row
- Row-level values in the ranges that matter — the actual numbers and text in your trackers, not just the headings
- Formula-driven cells as their computed results — the totals and rollups your sheet already calculates
- Historical rows over time, so agents can spot trends and week-over-week movement in your own tracked data
How Ceres uses Google Sheets
Ceres connects to Google Sheets read-first. On a recurring schedule, your agents open the trackers, pipelines, and content calendars you point them at and read the rows and columns straight from the tab — your KPI numbers, deal stages, and planned content, exactly as you keep them. Every finding is grounded in an evidence chain back to the specific cell or range it came from, so nothing is invented. Ceres can also write back to your Sheets, but only through an approval gate: it appends rows and updates cells — logging a research finding or flipping a content-calendar status — and that change waits for your explicit one-click approval. Nothing is written to your Sheets until you approve it; there is no autonomous editing.
The Market Research Lead is the main agent here. It treats your Sheets as living context — reading the KPI tracker to see where the numbers actually stand, mining a pipeline tab to understand which deals are moving, and pulling content-calendar status to see what is planned versus shipped. When a finding belongs in your tracker, it proposes the exact row to append or cell to update and holds it for your sign-off. The Paid Ads Manager uses the same connection to read budget and performance trackers you keep by hand, and to propose logging campaign results back into your spend sheet — again, only after you approve the write.
The honest value is a standing reporting habit that runs for you without you having to maintain it. Your spreadsheets stay the source of truth you already trust, and Ceres reads them on a schedule, cites every number back to its cell, and keeps your trackers and calendars current — but only with edits you have personally approved. You get the discipline of a teammate who actually keeps the sheet up to date, with none of the risk of an agent quietly rewriting your numbers behind your back.
In practice
Research reads your KPI tracker in Sheets, and — once you approve — appends the week's findings as a new row, so your dashboard stays current without copy-paste.

- Can Ceres edit cells or add rows in my Google Sheets?
- Only with your approval. Ceres proposes the exact row to append or the cell to update — logging a research finding or a content-calendar status — and that change waits for your one-click sign-off. Nothing is written to your Sheets until you approve it, and there is no autonomous editing mode.

- You authorize the Google Sheets connection from your Ceres dashboard, then point your agents at the specific trackers, pipelines, or calendars you want them to use. From there Ceres reads on schedule and proposes any writes for your approval.
