Introduction
Vtiger CRM’s Export to Google Sheets feature enables users to export CRM data from the List View to Google Sheets for easy access, sharing, and analysis. This feature is especially useful for teams that work collaboratively on reports, track updates in real time, or need to store large volumes of data externally in a cloud-based spreadsheet.
To use this feature, users must have a Google account, and they will need to authenticate it the first time the export is initiated from Vtiger.
