Can LoomDoc read the data and charts in my Google Sheet?

LoomDoc primarily reads the raw text content from your Google Sheet. While it can't render charts, it can understand the tabular data, allowing you or your viewers to ask the AI questions about the information in the cells.

What if my Google Sheet contains sensitive financial data?

That's a perfect use case for our 'Private' access feature. Set your Google Sheet to 'Anyone with the link can view,' then paste that link into LoomDoc and set the LoomDoc link's access to 'Private.' This ensures only the specific email addresses you authorize can view the content.

Does this also work for Microsoft Excel files?

Yes, for Excel files you can save them as a PDF and upload them directly to LoomDoc. You'll get the same powerful tracking and AI chat capabilities.

How-To Guide

How to See Who Opened Your Google Sheet Link

You shared a Google Sheet with project timelines, sales data, or a budget. Now what? Stop guessing and start knowing exactly who is looking at your data.

Track Your Google Sheet

The Problem: No Viewer Analytics for Sheets

Like Google Docs, standard Google Sheets accounts offer no visibility into who views your shared links. This is a major issue when sharing important data with clients, contractors, or investors. You have no way to confirm receipt or gauge interest.

The Old Way

"I shared the financial model with the investors last night. I hope they saw it. Did their analyst team review it? I have no way of knowing without a follow-up email."

The Solution: Add a Layer of Intelligence

Use LoomDoc to wrap your Google Sheet in a powerful analytics layer. Simply paste your sheet's shareable link into LoomDoc to create a new, trackable link.

The LoomDoc Way

Use "Gated Access" to see who is viewing your data, or "Private Access" for secure sharing with named individuals. You can even see what questions they're asking the AI about your data for deeper insights.
