About the Tiller Community

The Tiller Community is where other Tiller customers can showcase templates and solutions that demonstrate what's possible with Tiller. The Tiller Community offers solutions for tracking net worth, plotting your course to debt freedom, envelope budgeting, and more.

Tiller Community Solutions

All templates, tools, and workflows available in the Tiller Community and installed via the Tiller Community Solutions add-ons are built and supported by the Tiller Community. Our support team via chat/email does not answer questions about how these templates work.

You can browse and install community templates a few ways:

For both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel you can use the Templates feature in Tiller Money Feeds to browse and install a small selection of community-built templates.

For Google Sheets only, you can use the Tiller Community Solutions add-on for Google Sheets to access community solutions not included in Tiller Money Feeds. There are also some community solutions not available via any add-on that you can find in the Google Sheets Show & Tell category. These solutions will need to be manually installed into your spreadsheet.

For Microsoft Excel, there are also some community solutions not available via any add-on that you can find in the in the Microsoft Excel Show & Tell category. These solutions will need to be manually installed into your spreadsheet.

FAQ

How can I install a template I found in Tiller's website gallery?

Most of the templates in the Tiller Community Solutions Gallery can be installed using the Tiller Community Solutions add-on. Use the steps above to Install the add-on and then search for the solution you're interested in using the search bar at the top of the add-on.

Can I use this add-ons if I have Advanced Protection turned on for my Google Account?

You will not be able to install the Tiller Community Solutions add-on if you have Advanced Protection turned on. A workaround is to use a separate Google Account that does not have Advanced Protection turned on to install this add-on and run it in your Tiller powered Google Sheets through that account.

Why are the add-on permissions so broad?

Some of the technology and APIs utilized by the workflows in this add-on require these broader scopes. While the add-on does ask for permission to access all the spreadsheets in your Google Drive, the add-on will only ever access the spreadsheet where and when you're actively using it. You can read more in depth about this in the community here.
