What you'll need
- An active Datadog account with repository access

- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Datadog
Click "Add Connection" and select Datadog from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Datadog's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate Google Sheets
Same process for Google Sheets. Click "Add Connection," select Google Sheets, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in datadog or new item created in google sheets. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create item in google sheets. Map the data fields between Datadog and Google Sheets so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
