# Do’s and Don'ts of Google Sheet Integration.

### Don'ts :-&#x20;

***

1. Keep your Sheet in **normal Google Sheet format** and NOT in .XLS format.

2. Don’t **apply** any formula on the headers or on the sheet where data is coming on the basis of the **formula**. Keep the sheet **clean**.
3. Keep the contact number in a **proper number format**. In one cell, keep only **one number** and not multiple numbers separated by commas.
4. **Avoid** giving gaps/blank cells in the **contact number column**, those leads will not be created.

5. Don’t keep any **Header** of the column **blank** where you have the **data**, in any tab of that sheet.
6. Avoid **deleting** any integrated rows of the sheet because neodove reads the rows of the google sheet at the time of **syncing** the data. Every time you sync **NeoDove reads** the row after the **last synced row** of the Sheet.&#x20;

### Do’s :-&#x20;

***

1. Keep your sheet in the **normal sheet format**.
2. Make sure that you have **access** to the particular sheet you want to **upload**.
3. Make sure that you have a **Phone number column** in your data because in NeoDove, without a number **lead** will not be created.
4. Make sure the contact number is in **normal number format**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.neodove.com/admin-portal/integrations/google-sheets-integration/dos-and-donts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
