How to connect the Feeds add-on to your own Google Sheet template.

You can connect an existing Google Sheet to the Tiller Money Feeds add-on to automate your bank data to the spreadsheet. Goodbye CSVs! 

After installing the add-on and linking the Google Sheet to the Tiller Console you should be aware of the following before clicking “Confirm” after choosing accounts to link: 

  • If your Google Sheet already has a sheet called “Transactions” the Tiller Money Feeds add-on will be able to feed data to any supported columns with non-formula headers in row 1. 

  • If it doesn’t have a Transactions sheet already one will be created upon first fill (after confirming accounts you want to link). 

  • A column with a header in row 1 called Date is required for the Transaction feed.

  • A "Categories" sheet will also be created if it doesn’t already exist. The Transactions sheet created by the add-on requires a Categories sheet. 

  • If your Google Sheet already has a sheet called “Balance History” the Tiller Money Feeds add-on will be able to feed data to any supported columns with non-formula headers in row 1. 

  • If it doesn’t have a Balance History sheet already one will be created upon first fill (after confirming accounts you want to link). 

  • The rest is up to you. 

You may need to modify your existing dashboards or analysis sheets to work with the core sheets that Tiller can fill. The sheet names and headers are reserved for Tiller’s feeds to work. (E.g. the Tiller Money Feeds add-on needs a sheet called “Transactions” with at least a “Date” column).
