What This Workflow Does

For sales and marketing teams, data trapped in spreadsheets is a major bottleneck. New leads from events, web forms, or partner lists often land in a Google Sheet, requiring a team member to manually copy and paste each entry into the CRM. This process is not only tedious and time-consuming but also error-prone, leading to missed opportunities, delayed follow-ups, and an inaccurate sales pipeline.

This automated workflow solves that problem by creating a live, one-way bridge between Google Sheets and NetHunt CRM. Every time a new row is added to your designated spreadsheet—whether it's a single lead or a batch import—Make.com detects the change instantly and creates a corresponding, fully populated record in NetHunt. This ensures your sales team has immediate access to qualified leads without any manual intervention, turning your spreadsheet from a static list into a dynamic lead ingestion engine.

How It Works

The automation is triggered by new data and executes a precise sequence of actions to transfer and structure that information.

Step 1: Monitor the Google Sheet

The workflow starts by watching a specific Google Sheets spreadsheet for new rows. You can configure it to monitor an entire sheet or a specific range. Make.com checks for updates at regular intervals you define, ensuring near real-time syncing.

Step 2: Capture the New Row Data

When a new row is detected, Make.com captures all the data from each column. This typically includes lead details like Full Name, Email Address, Company, Phone Number, Lead Source, and any custom notes or qualification scores you track.

Pro tip: Structure your Google Sheet with clear, consistent column headers (e.g., "First Name," "Email," "Company"). This makes mapping the data to NetHunt fields foolproof and ensures every record is created correctly.

Step 3: Create the Record in NetHunt CRM

Make.com then takes the captured data and uses the NetHunt API to create a new contact or lead record. The workflow maps each column from your Sheet to the corresponding field in NetHunt. You can control which fields are populated, assign leads to specific pipelines or owners, and even add tags based on the data source.

Step 4: Confirm and Log (Optional)

For reliability, you can add modules to log each successful sync to another sheet or send a notification to a Slack channel. This creates an audit trail and provides peace of mind that your automation is running smoothly.

Who This Is For

This automation is a game-changer for any business that uses NetHunt CRM and collects lead data in Google Sheets. It's ideal for:

  • Sales Teams & SDRs: Who need instant access to new leads from marketing campaigns, webinars, or content downloads to begin outreach immediately.
  • Small Business Owners & Solopreneurs: Who wear multiple hats and can't afford to waste time on manual data entry between tools.
  • Marketing Agencies: That manage client lead generation and need to seamlessly pass captured leads from forms or ads (often logged in Sheets) into the client's CRM.
  • Event Organizers: Who collect attendee lists in Sheets and need to quickly import those contacts into NetHunt for post-event follow-up campaigns.

  1. A Make.com account (free tier available).
  2. A Google Sheets spreadsheet with your lead data, preferably with standardized column headers.
  3. Admin access to a NetHunt CRM account and your API credentials.
  4. Basic understanding of your lead data structure (which columns correspond to which CRM fields).
