Hello, we've established a connection between an Anaplan module and a Google worksheet through an Add-on. What are the available methods for setting up an automated refresh schedule from Anaplan to Google Sheets?
@pchauhan : Maybe this can be achieved by "robots" that simulate the mouse actions to connect and trigger refresh like a normal user. (not familiar with the topic)
As per my understanding, to create native automation with Anaplan it is needed to use REST APIs. I am not aware of Anaplan REST APIs to connect and refresh worksheets (Google or Excel).
My understanding is that worksheets (Google or Excel) are ad-hoc methods to check Anaplan data by a particular user (the user needs to connect and refresh data manually).
For automation, usually, it is used data integration REST APIs that export data from Anaplan to a CSV file (export actions launched from Anaplan) and the target file can be also a Google Big Query Bucket (for Google integrations) or Blob (for Azure integration) or on Amazon S3.
Hope it helps

We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
A while back, I shared a pattern for extracting and reporting on Anaplan audit data using a Python project hosted on GitHub. I wrote that during my time on the Operational Excellence Group (OEG) at Anaplan. The Python solution still works, and plenty of teams are running it today. The problem it solves hasn't changed:…
We are looking for Anaplan end-users to provide feedback on their experiences with the Excel add-in. Interested individuals will respond to this 5-minute survey to help us understand personal needs and behavior when using the add-in. The feedback provided by survey takers is essential to the roadmap of Anaplan's products.…
