How to connect Lemlist to Google Sheets
Lemlist is great at running campaigns. It is not a reporting tool. Sooner or later you want your campaign data in a spreadsheet so you can pivot it, chart it, share it with a client, or join it with data from somewhere else.
There are two ways to do that, and the right one depends on how often you need the data.
- Once, for a one-off analysis? Export a CSV by hand. It is free and it takes about two minutes.
- Every week, for a report you actually maintain? Automate it. Doing it by hand does not scale past a handful of campaigns.
This guide covers both.
Option 1: the manual CSV export
Lemlist can produce a CSV of a campaign, and Google Sheets can import a CSV. Chaining the two by hand looks like this:
- Open your Lemlist dashboard
- Find and click on your campaign
- Click Export
- Wait until the export is ready 😴
- Download the CSV
- Open your Google spreadsheet
- Click File, hover Import, click
- Click the Upload tab
- Click Select a file from your device
- Find the right CSV among the others on your computer — good luck when the file name looks like
fil_axp_CvGPWvb3AxzDbFhJQ_campaign_x.csv🤯 - Choose the right options for your import
- Click Import data
That works. The catch is that it produces a snapshot, not a connection. Tomorrow the numbers are stale and you do all twelve steps again. Multiply by the number of campaigns you run and you can see where this goes.
It is also error-prone in a way that is hard to notice: import the wrong CSV into the wrong tab, or let Google Sheets guess your date format wrong, and your report is quietly incorrect.
Option 2: automate it with Lembot
Lembot is a Lemlist Google Sheets integration that does the same job on a schedule, without the CSV round trip. You connect Lemlist once, point it at a spreadsheet, and the data keeps itself up to date.
Setup is three steps.
Step 1: choose what to export
Pick the data you want out of your Lemlist campaigns:
- Results — the overview of your campaign performance
- Activities — every email sent, opened, clicked and replied, timestamped
- Leads — all lead details, including your custom variables
- Tasks — task details, types and due dates
Step 2: select your Lemlist team
Choose which Lemlist team to connect to. Handy if you manage several teams or several clients.
Step 3: choose the campaigns
Three options here, depending on how much control you want:
- Manual selection — pick campaigns one by one
- By tags — export every campaign carrying a tag like
Q4-2025orLinkedIn, and automatically pick up new campaigns you tag later - All active campaigns — set it and forget it
Then paste your Google Sheets URL, pick the destination sheet, and save. Optionally choose which columns to export and set a schedule — daily, weekdays, weekly or monthly.
That's it 🤩
From then on the export runs in one click, or on its own if you scheduled it.

Which should you pick?
The manual CSV export is free, takes around two minutes per campaign, and gives you whatever columns Lemlist decides to include. It does not stay up to date, and combining several campaigns into one sheet means copy-pasting.
Lembot is paid, with a free trial. Setup takes a few minutes once, after which refreshes cost you nothing: exports run on a schedule, you choose which columns to keep, and several campaigns land in the same sheet with their columns matched automatically.
If you export once a quarter, the manual route is genuinely fine and you should use it. The moment it becomes a recurring chore, automate it.
What you can do once the data is in Sheets
This is the part people underestimate. Once Lemlist data lands in a spreadsheet automatically, you can:
- build a live dashboard with charts that refresh themselves
- share a read-only report with a client, with no export step
- compare campaign performance across months
- join campaign data with your CRM export
- trigger alerts with Apps Script when a reply rate drops
Common questions
Does Lemlist have a native Google Sheets integration?
Not for exporting campaign results. Lemlist can import leads from a CSV, and it has an API, but there is no built-in "send my campaign data to a spreadsheet on a schedule" feature. That gap is what Lembot fills.
Can I do this with the Lemlist API instead?
Yes, if you are comfortable writing and hosting code. The Lemlist API exposes campaigns, activities and leads. You would need to handle pagination, rate limits, the Google Sheets API, scheduling, and the maintenance that comes with all of it. Lembot exists because we got tired of maintaining exactly that script.
Can I export several campaigns into a single sheet?
Yes — see bulk export your Lemlist campaigns. Columns are matched automatically, so campaigns with slightly different custom variables still stack cleanly.
Is my lead data stored anywhere?
No. Lembot is GDPR compliant, the servers are in the EU, and we store the minimum needed to run the service. We do not store anything about your leads, anything. The details are in our Privacy Policy.
A note on who we are
Lembot is not affiliated with Lemlist. We are lemlisters like you, and we built this because we wanted it ourselves. Features come from user feedback — see the what's new page, and send an email if something is missing.
