TimeTonic makes it simple to centralize & organize data & information in Smart-Tables, a new kind of smart visual databases as flexible as a spreadsheet.

With TimeTonic you can also generate forms and documents, automate processes, and create your own secure, cloud & native mobile applications - including with offline mode - with no programming, with no computer "code".

However, for some purposes, you might need to export your data from TimeTonic to another place, for example 

• to create dashboards,
• to display information differently (e.g. for cash flow management)
• to interface with other popular #nocode tools such as Glide, Bubble or Softr. which are compatible with Google Sheets.

In this article, we’ll explain how to connect TimeTonic to Google Sheets and to Excel online and extract your data automatically on a schedule with Coupler.io, a reliable data analytics and automation platform.

Coupler.io offers a data integration solution that allows you to export data automatically from more than 30 apps to Google Sheets, Excel, and BigQuery.

TimeTonic is part of the list of available data sources included.

Coupler.io has the automatic data refresh functionality, so you can set a custom schedule for the updates, and Coupler.io will keep your TimeTonic data in a spreadsheet or database always synchronized.

How to connect TimeTonic to Google Sheets

In our example, we’ll show you how to connect TimeTonic to Google Sheets with the help of Coupler.io.

• First, you will need to create a Coupler.io account.
• On the My Importers tab, click Add new. 
• Select TimeTonic as a data source and Google Sheets as a destination.

• Connect your TimeTonic account. To do so, you will need to provide your TimeTonic user ID and API key.
  Your ID is the one you used when creating your TimeTonic account. If you don’t remember it, you can find it in your account details.

• To create the API key, go to your TimeTonic profile ➡️ Settings ➡️ Add new API key.
• Press Add new API key and grant the requested permissions. Copy the key and insert it in the Coupler.io connection dialog window.

• Once the account is connected, you can select a workspace, table, and a view to export data from. Then, press Continue.

• If you want to export data from several views or workspaces, press Add one more source and add another TimeTonic workspace/table/view to the importer.
  Once this is ready, you can configure the destination.

• Connect your Google Sheets account and press Continue.
• Select the spreadsheet and the sheet for importing your data. You can type in a new sheet name, and Coupler.io will automatically create a new sheet in the specified spreadsheet.

• Then, choose the import mode. This will matter when you set up a schedule for automatic updates.
  • Select Replace if you want to only have the latest dataset in your spreadsheet – in this case, new data will be written over the old version.
  • Select Append if you want to track changes in your data. In this case, each fresh version of the dataset will be placed under the previous one so that you will have several versions of your dataset in chronological order.

• Now, let’s schedule automatic updates.
  Toggle on the automatic data refresh feature. You can choose the days of the week, the times, and the interval for the updates.
  • For example, you can select 24/7 updates every 15 minutes to monitor your data in near-real time.
  • Or you can schedule the updates for business days, from 9 am to 6 pm, depending on your processes and goals.
• Once your schedule is ready, press Save and Run.

Here’s the example of TimeTonic data automatically exported to Google Sheets. Coupler.io will keep this data in the spreadsheet up to date, regularly fetching fresh information from TimeTonic.
