How can I integrate Safari Portal with my CRM and set up the Google Sheets integration?
Easily sync your CRM and Google Sheets with Safari Portal.


We strongly recommend exploring all of Safari Portal’s built-in tools—including contact, task, pipeline, and financial management—as they may eliminate the need for a separate third-party CRM. While there are some limitations, the platform offers robust functionality that’s designed to work seamlessly together, streamlining your workflows within a single ecosystem.


That said, if you’ve determined that a third-party CRM is necessary, Safari Portal integrates with Google Sheets, allowing you to automatically sync client information collected through Guest Forms with nearly any CRM you're using. Here's how:


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. If you're the account admin for your Safari Portal Agent account, click your initials in the top-right corner of your dashboard to access Account Settings.
  2. Click the Integrations tab.
  3. Then, click the Connect button on the Google Sheets integration.

Why is this so cool?

This is a powerful feature because of its broad versatility.


Google Sheets integrates with nearly everything through platforms like Integrately or Zapier, which are affordable third-party tools that connect different platforms using "zaps" or pre-built automations.


You can set these up in just a few minutes, so, for example, every time a client completes their forms, the system can automatically add or update a contact in your CRM (such as HubSpot, Keap, Zoho, Insightly, Pipedrive, Mailchimp, and thousands of other options).


Troubleshooting

  • Each time the GoogIe Sheets integration is connected, it creates a new sheet.
    • Old sheets become inactive upon disconnection.
  • Users should never manually edit the integrated Google Sheet.
  • Troubleshooting tips:
    1. Click Sync Data to update sheet with platform data.
    2. Check for permission errors during connection process.
    3. Verify sheet location (Google Sheets website vs. Google Drive).
