Summary

Syncing Google Forms data with Notion using dlt` involves setting up a workflow to automatically sync data from Google Forms to a Notion database without manual intervention. The solution utilizes Google Sheets, Google Apps Script, and a `dlt` pipeline to transfer form responses to the Notion database. Aman Gupta, Jr. Data Engineer at dlthub, developed this automation to meet the Operations team's needs after initial attempts with Zapier failed. The process involves linking a Google Form to a Google Sheet, creating a Google Apps Script to send data from the sheet to the Notion database via a webhook, deploying a `dlt` pipeline to handle data transfer from the sheet to the database, and automating real-time updates through the pipeline. This experience demonstrates that `dlt` is a straightforward and flexible tool suitable for various scenarios, especially where Python can be applied effectively for data loading.
