How to integrate Kanban Tool with Google Sheets?

You can export your board directly to Excel or CSV, or seamlessly integrate with Google Sheets.

Making updates & creating new tasks for the board

As long as your Google Sheet includes the task ID field, any edits—like changes to the name, description, column, or swimlane—will automatically update your Kanban Tool board when you export the data back.
