Step-by-step guide

How to connect Google Sheets to SFTP (key-based auth)

Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.

What you'll need

  • An active Google Sheets account
  • An active SFTP (key-based auth) account with repository access
  • A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Start setup
  1. 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.

  2. Step 02

    Authenticate Google Sheets

    Click "Add Connection" and select Google Sheets from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Google Sheets's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.

  3. Step 03

    Authenticate SFTP (key-based auth)

    Same process for SFTP (key-based auth). Click "Add Connection," select SFTP (key-based auth), and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.

  4. Step 04

    Choose your trigger

    Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in google sheets or new commit pushed in sftp (key-based auth). The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.

  5. Step 05

    Configure the action

    Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create issue in sftp (key-based auth). Map the data fields between Google Sheets and SFTP (key-based auth) so the right information lands in the right place.

  6. Step 06

    Test and activate

    Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Google Sheets and SFTP (key-based auth). Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
