§ Integration — Google Sheets

Sync receipts to
Google Sheets.

Snap a receipt. Slipsheet reads it. A new row lands in your Google Sheet — vendor, date, total, category — before you've put the coffee down. No zapier tape, no paid-by-zap-pull, no formulas.

§ 01 — The Method

Snap it. Sheets has it.

Connect once with Google OAuth. Pick the sheet. From then on, every confirmed receipt writes itself into the next row.

01 Step 1

Connect your Google account.

One-click OAuth. We request drive.file scope — the narrowest scope Google offers. We only see the specific spreadsheet you pick. Nothing else in your Drive is visible to us.

Scope · drive.file · Scoped to one file
02 Step 2

Pick (or create) the sheet.

Choose an existing spreadsheet or have Slipsheet spin one up with the right columns pre-labeled — Date, Vendor, Category, Subtotal, Tax, Total, Notes, Receipt Link.

Columns · Date · Vendor · Tax · Total · Link
03 Step 3

Confirm. It writes.

After you review a receipt in the queue and stamp it confirmed, Slipsheet appends a row to your sheet. The original receipt file stays linked, one click away.

§ 02 — What syncs

Every field, itemised.

The columns that land in your Google Sheet, straight from the extraction pass. You can rename them, add more, or reorder — we'll follow.

§ 03 — Who it's for

Built for the spreadsheet-native.

Case · 01

Freelancers who file once a quarter.

Throw receipts at Slipsheet as they happen. When the quarter ends, your Google Sheet is already tallied — pivot it, sum it, hand it to your accountant.

Case · 02

Agencies tracking reimbursables.

One sheet per client, tag on the way in. Sheets becomes your billing source of truth without anyone touching QuickBooks.

Case · 03

Non-profits with expense policies.

Board members forward receipts, volunteers upload theirs, treasurers pivot the sheet at month-end. No new tool to teach.

§ 04 — The old way vs. Slipsheet

Put down the data entry.

Manual data entry

Typing receipts into Sheets.

  • Open each receipt in Drive, squint at the total, type it in.
  • Remember whether that was the subtotal or the total.
  • Forget the receipt existed by Q3.
  • Rediscover a crumpled pile in January, 14 hours of data entry ahead.
  • Pay someone else to do the above for $20/hour.
Slipsheet + Google Sheets

Snap, confirm, it's in the sheet.

  • Drop a photo or forward an email; extraction runs in seconds.
  • Review the queue in a keyboard-first table — correct the one field the model squinted at.
  • Confirm. A row appears in your Google Sheet, with a link back to the original.
  • Sum, pivot, and filter in Sheets like you always would.
  • Keep your accountant, your formulas, and your afternoon.
§ 05 — Questions, answered

The fine print.

No. We use Google's drive.file scope — the narrowest available. Slipsheet can only see and modify the specific spreadsheet you authorize. Nothing else in your Drive is visible to us.
Either works. Slipsheet can append rows to any sheet you authorize. If you'd rather start fresh, we can create one for you with the standard receipt columns already set up.
Your edits stay. Slipsheet only appends new rows for new confirmed receipts — we don't overwrite anything you've changed. Treat Sheets as the downstream source of truth.
Yes — on the Pro plan you can route different clients or categories to different sheets. Great for agencies where each client gets their own ledger.
Revoke any time from Slipsheet's settings or from your Google account. Your existing rows stay in the sheet — they're yours. New receipts simply stop syncing until you reconnect.
Yes. Personal Gmail accounts and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) accounts both work, provided your Workspace admin hasn't restricted third-party OAuth apps.
§ 06 — Your turn

Snap it.
Sheet it.

14 days. No card. No data-entry afternoon. Your Google Sheet, tallying itself while you do literally anything else.
