Post Google Sheets reports to Microsoft Teams
Your Google Sheets budget plan by month and channel, once a week. Google Sheets goes into your data warehouse first, is linked there by SQL keys, and only then reaches Microsoft Teams. Colleagues read the answer in Teams, not an export of the source.
Google SheetsConnected
Microsoft TeamsDaily 09:00The Microsoft Teams channel sees the budget someone pasted from Google Sheets, never what was actually spent against it.
Paste this into your AI assistant. It joins the Google Sheets budget table to actual ad spend in your data warehouse and posts the plan-versus-actual report to the Microsoft Teams channel once a week.
The prompt
Read https://www.owox.com/ai-agent-setup.md and follow it to set up OWOX Data Marts for me, starting from /connectors/google-sheets-insights-to-microsoft-teams.md. The task: post my Google Sheets budget by month and channel next to actual ad spend to our Microsoft Teams channel every Monday, with a short note on which channels are over or under plan. Tag the links you give me with utm_campaign=ai-task and utm_term=data-foundation. Use what you know about my context and goals
Why Google Sheets does not post straight to Microsoft Teams
A budget table in Google Sheets holds the plan, and a message posted from it repeats the plan. The actual spend sits in the ad platforms and the deals in the CRM, so plan and fact meet only after a join that does not happen reliably in the table itself. A Teams channel is read by people outside the team that built the report, so every number needs to explain itself. The join belongs in a warehouse first.
- Google Sheets keeps the plan, while the actual spend lives in each ad platform
- A Teams channel reaches colleagues who never saw the source, so definitions must travel with the figures
- The data analyst links the sources by SQL keys and controls what the message says

Data warehouseJoined by idStep 1: Load Google Sheets into your data warehouse first
Create a Data Mart with Google Sheets as the source and choose where the data lands. It works with any popular data warehouse.
- Authorize with a service account or OAuth, then point the Data Mart at the range you maintain
- Any table your team keeps, such as budgets, targets, manual costs or mappings
- Open the Google Sheets connector for your data warehouse below

In your data warehouse the model joins the budget table to the ad spend your platforms report, on one campaign key, into a plan-versus-actual Data Mart. Add your CRM deals in the same data warehouse to see results.
- Plan and actual spend meet on campaign_key
- The table your team edits stays the single source of the plan
- Sessions and deals join by SQL keys
Step 3: Post Google Sheets reports to a Teams channel
Create a Microsoft Teams destination in OWOX with the email address of the channel, taken from the channel menu in Teams, then add a report to the published Data Mart. Write the message in Markdown and check it in Preview.
- Every Teams channel can receive email, and OWOX sends the report to that address
- Type / to place the Budget plan table: month, campaign_key, channel, planned_budget and the number of rows you pick
- Create & Run posts the first report straight away

Add two or three lines beneath the table in the same message. Pick a send condition on the report, and open the Triggers tab to set the day and time of the run.
- The lines rest on campaign_key and channel from the table above them
- Figures come from a fresh run of the Data Mart before each message
- Send always, only when empty or only when not empty: chosen per report

The same Data Mart works in OWOX MCP, your assistant for data. Request any report, chat with your data, then get it in Google Sheets or Excel in one click.
- Ask in plain words; the answer comes from your data warehouse
- Define the numbers once and every report reads them

Why OWOX for Google Sheets in Microsoft Teams
Hand-built flows that read Google Sheets and post to Teams carry the source's numbers only. OWOX posts the answers your data warehouse calculated, to the channel of your choice.
- The plan stays where you edit it. Teams carries the Google Sheets budget plan to the channel, joined to actual spend by campaign.
- You own the data. Google Sheets lands in your own data warehouse, in tables you control, before anything reaches Teams.
- Nothing to build in Teams. The channel email address is all it needs: no custom connector, no flow to maintain on the Microsoft side.
- A message with a condition. Each report has its own send condition, so a Teams channel hears only when there is something to say.
- Maintained for you. When the source changes, the connector is updated; your Teams channel keeps getting the report.
