About this workflow template
This automation scenario allows you to connect Pocket and Google Sheets
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Pocket and Google Sheets can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
How it works?
When this trigger fires in Pocket
New item tagged in Pocket
This Trigger fires every time you tag an item with a specific tag in Pocket.
