I’ve been a freelance data analyst/developer for a while and I’d regularly get hired to build custom data pipelines and dashboards in Google Sheets/Looker Studio. Custom data integrations came with a large upfront cost, and possible maintenance but clients told me they were reluctant to use the major data connector platforms as they were complicated and expensive over time, so I decide to fix this.

I built DataFlowed to be dead simple data connector to Google Sheets with a generous free plan and simple pricing.

So far I’ve built out the following connectors based on the needs of my clients and early users:

- Shopify - Facebook/Instagram ads - Google Ads - Google Analytics - Google Search Console

I plan on adding more connectors as needed by my clients/users, most of which are in the ecommerce/marketing space so I will focus my time there.

After years of building projects that I thought we interesting, but were not validated, I have really noticed the difference building something customers actually want.

Please let me know if you have any feedback.
