With the Dotdigital contacts integrations with Google Sheets, you can automatically populate your Google sheets with the latest list and segmentation data.

The data saved to the Google sheet contains the following properties: id, type, contact count, and name.

You can select from options to create a new sheet per day or update an existing sheet, and to either update the existing list and segmentation stats with the latest data or append to the data set.
