Zapier is a platform where you can automate workflows with the use of world-known tools like Google Docs, Slack, Airtable, and more than 2000 other integrations.

In this example, we will create a workflow that will move all new tracks for the selected vehicle into Google Sheet. If you need to learn how to request certain data for a vehicle/driver see Zapier integration example – request selected tracks into Google Sheet.

Before you start click here and follow the steps to get Client ID and Secret that will be needed for connecting Zapier with MyCarTracks.

After you have your API credentials, follow these instructions to create an empty Google Sheet for later use:

1. Go to Google Sheets and login if you’re not already.
2. Create a new blank spreadsheet – for this purpose name it MCT mileages.
3. You must add header – Enter column names in the first row, for this example we will add items as on the image below. To create header drag the horizontal line right above the “1” column and drag it under the “2”.
