Overview
Lifesight allows users to connect their workspace to Google Sheets for easy sharing and syncing of data. With this feature, users can quickly send spend and cost data to Lifesight without the need for manual data entry. Plus, you can also set up recurring syncing of data with a daily, weekly, or monthly frequency to automatically extract data. This sync ensures your data is always up-to-date and easily accessible.
Use Cases
The Google Sheets integration supports the following types of integration:
Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM): Users can link a Google spreadsheet in a designated format and utilize the integrated data to construct an MMM model.
The model creation process involves one-time schema mapping (on the model creation page), where users can define the relevant columns within the integrated spreadsheet, ensuring accurate data alignment and usage.Custom Spends: The integration enables manual input of spend data, specifically for the purpose of reflecting cost metrics in the Attribution section. This capability is vital for tracking and analyzing expenditures that fall outside standard categories.
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): Integration of COGS data is facilitated to input a detailed perspective on the direct costs associated with the production of goods. This data is critical for assessing product profitability and cost management.
For effective integration and analysis, it is imperative that each data type is meticulously handled during the integration phase, ensuring the utility of the data within the overall analytical framework.
