Pain Points

Google Sheets is flexible—but it's also fragile without structure or automation. Common issues we solve:

  • Manual data entry → errors, delays, and burnout.

  • Disconnected tabs that require constant updating.

  • No version control or user access tracking.

  • Copy/paste chaos between Sheets, Forms, and Airtable.

The more important your data, the more painful these gaps become.

How We Can Help

Speak Toomey builds Ottermation workflows that treat Google Sheets as a live data hub—updating itself based on logic, submissions, and even AI.

  • Form → Tracker: Submissions from Tally or Google Forms instantly populate Sheets with normalized field names, tags, and timestamps.

  • Daily roll-ups: Automatically combine entries across multiple tabs (or even multiple Sheets) into a summary dashboard.

  • Auto-formatting: Trigger color rules, flags, or Slack alerts when thresholds are hit (e.g. "over budget").

  • Data cleanup: Use AI or formulas to fix naming issues, capitalize data, or remove bad inputs on the fly.

  • Sync with Airtable: Two-way sync with Airtable to ensure Sheets reflect live Airtable records and vice versa.

Your spreadsheet becomes an interface, not a liability.
