FAQs
Integrations & automation FAQs
What can I do with the InstaCharts Zapier integration?
The InstaCharts Zapier integration connects your charts to over 8,000 apps using two actions. The "Add Data Row" action sends new data into an InstaCharts sheet so its charts update automatically, and the "Get Chart Image" action renders any chart as a shareable image. Together they let you keep charts current from apps like Google Sheets, Airtable, Typeform, and Stripe, and deliver chart images to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Notion, or Google Drive, all without code.
How do I connect InstaCharts to Zapier?
To connect InstaCharts to Zapier, create a free InstaCharts account, then add the InstaCharts app to a Zap and authorize it. You can then use InstaCharts as an action step: choose "Add Data Row" to send data into a chart, or "Get Chart Image" to generate a chart image. No coding or developer setup is required.
Can InstaCharts update a chart automatically when my data changes?
Yes. With the InstaCharts "Add Data Row" Zapier action, new data from another app, such as a new Google Sheets row, a form submission, or a sale, is added to your InstaCharts sheet automatically, and every chart built on that sheet updates instantly. This keeps live dashboards and embedded charts current with no manual editing.
Can I automatically send a chart to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email?
Yes. The InstaCharts "Get Chart Image" Zapier action produces a ready-to-share image of any chart, which Zapier can post to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord, attach to a Gmail or Outlook email, or save to Notion, Google Drive, or Dropbox. Combined with a schedule, this delivers automatic chart reports to your team every day, week, or month.
Can I turn survey or form responses into a chart automatically?
Yes. Connect a form app such as Typeform, Google Forms, or Jotform to InstaCharts in Zapier, and each new response is added to your chart automatically. The chart visualizes results in real time as responses arrive, which is ideal for surveys, polls, feedback, and research.
How do I keep my charts current when my data is in a file rather than a connected app?
InstaCharts lets you update an existing sheet with a file from your device, which covers data that lives offline. Right click the sheet in your Workspace and choose "Update Data", or open the sheet and choose "Update Sheet Data" from the sheet menu, then pick the new file. Choose whether it overwrites the sheet, appends its rows to the rows already there, or adds its columns next to your existing ones. InstaCharts matches the columns for you and shows a preview before the update runs, and every chart, data table and dashboard built on that sheet shows the new data.
What are the three ways to update a sheet from a file?
InstaCharts gives you three update modes when you update a sheet from a file. "Overwrite this sheet" replaces the data in the sheet with the data in the new file, either the whole sheet or just a few columns, and a "Keep my column names" option holds on to the names you already use. "Add rows to this sheet" keeps the current rows and appends the rows from the new file after them, which suits monthly exports and growing logs. "Add columns to this sheet" keeps the current columns and adds the columns from the new file next to them, lining the rows up in order.
Do my charts break when I update a sheet with a new file?
No. Charts follow the column they already plot, so a matched column keeps its chart along with its theme, colors and annotations, and shared links and embed codes stay the same. InstaCharts matches columns by name first and by position second, lists every column with the result of the update, and blocks the update when a column used by a chart would be dropped so you can map it to a column in the new file instead.
What apps does InstaCharts integrate with?
InstaCharts integrates directly with Google Sheets and Google Drive for live data syncing, and through Zapier it connects to more than 8,000 apps, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Notion, Airtable, Typeform, Google Forms, Stripe, HubSpot, and Salesforce. This lets data flow into your charts and chart images flow out to wherever your team works.
Do I need to know how to code to automate charts with InstaCharts?
No. Automating charts with InstaCharts is entirely no-code. You build workflows visually in Zapier by picking a trigger app and an InstaCharts action, and InstaCharts handles updating the chart or generating the image. Anyone can set up automated, on-brand charts in minutes without engineering help.
