Keep Backendless hive data up to date from Google Sheets
Capture each new sheet entry in a Backendless map, so useful intake details are ready for the next step.
Trigger
New Rows in Google Sheet

Action
Map Put

Why this helps
Copying new intake details into Backendless by hand creates duplicate work and leaves records behind.
- Add new row details to a Backendless map as entries arrive.
- Keep intake information available to Backendless processes.
- Avoid a separate manual copy step.

- 1Connect Google Sheets and Backendless once in the Notis portal.

- 4Pick the New Rows in Google Sheet trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real row and confirm the expected map entries were added.
