# Stitching Sheets
MongoDB Stitch is an amazing Back-end as a Service that provides a framework for integrating services from virtually any publicly available API. I've written a bunch on this at MongoDB's Blog but in this [article](http://blog.mlynn.org/stitching-sheets), I'll share with you how easy it is to integrate data from Google Sheets into MongoDB using MongoDB Stitch.

## Google Script ##

There are two key elements that make this solution work. First, we have a Google Sheets script which runs from a menu item we add to the sheet. This script collects a row of data at a time and POSTs it to a MongoDB Stitch HTTP Service incoming webhook. The second is the function that runs when the webhook is called — this is where the data is received and inserted into a MongoDB Database Collection.

Here's an [example spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NOeo12Rcc09j91kQgtRiGd7vMgbB3rrIcNJRDAoBKC8/edit?usp=drive_web&ouid=112239861731016170701) that contains data for my team's event tracking spreadsheet.
