Optimizing Your Google Sheet Schema

Step-by-Step Guide: Populating AI Chatbot Messages to Google Sheets
1. Build a scenario on Make following our template
For simplicity, we can directly use this template to get started.
2. Authorize yourself with API key and create a webhook
After authenicating yourself with API key and creating a valid Chat Data connection, you can create a webhook in the first module of in the scenario. You can choose the corresponding chatbot from the dropdown list, like show below.
You can click the Show address button to reveal your webhook address.
Then you should find the same webhook address in the Webhook Setting of your Chat Data account, as show below. You can hover on the events to see that chat event is subscribed to the webhook.
3. Trigger the webhook once
Click the first webhook module to run the module once. It will listen to the chat event from the chatbot, as shown below:
Go back to your chatbot and chat with the chatbot. After the chatbot generate the answer, your webhook should receive the chat event. Click the circle on the top right of the webhook module to inspect the output data of the chat event payload.
4. Parse the chat event payload string into JSON
Because the output of the webhook module is a string of the chat event payload, we need to use the 2nd JSON parse module to parse the string into pre-defined data structure. If you don't already have the pre-defined data structure for your chat message, you can click the Add button to get started.
You can copy the output of the webhook module in the step 7 to generate the chat message data structure as show below:
The generated data structure should be like the following:
Click the Save button to save the data structure and add the Response: Output from the 1st webhook module as the input JSON string. Click the OK button to finish the 2nd JSON parse module.
5. Verify the parsed message
You can click the 2nd JSON parse module to run once and verify if the message string is parsed into the pre-defined data structure as shown below:
6. Populate parsed message to the Google Sheet
Then we can set up the Google sheet module to populate the parsed message to the Google Sheet. Here we want to use the content of the last message in the messages array as the user column because that text is the last query asked by the user. Then, we use the content of the answer payload as the chatbot answer column because that is the answer generated by the chatbot. Then we use the timestamp of the last message in the messages array as the time column as this is when the user asked the message. The ConversationId, Source, and ChatbotId are self-explanatory and you can directly put it in the form. Here is the setting of the Google sheet module:
7. Run the scenario
Congratulations! You have successfully set up the scenario and can click the Run once button to trigger the end-to-end flow. After clicking the Run Once button to trigger the scenario and chat with your chatbot, you should see all modules run successfully and the Google Sheet populated with the chatbot message as shown below:
8. Turn on the scenario
After verifying that the google sheet is populated with the chatbot message, you can turn on the scenario by clicking the Turn On button. You can also set up the scenario scheduling in this page.
