Stekpad + Google Sheets
Every scraped row writes straight into your Sheet. No CSV download, no manual import, no Zapier tax.
Google Sheets is the operator's default data store. Most scrapers ship CSVs that you then re-import into a sheet by hand — dead-end workflow that nobody actually wants.
Stekpad pipes rows directly. OAuth once, pick your sheet, and every recipe run appends or replaces the range. Compatible with formulas, named ranges, and protected sheets.
Three-step setup
- 1
Authorize Google in the extension
One-time OAuth consent. Stekpad only gets write access to sheets you explicitly pick. - 2
Pick a sheet and a range
Choose 'append rows' or 'replace named range'. Configure column mapping from the recipe's captured fields. - 3
Run the recipe
Every run writes fresh rows. Schedule daily updates on Cloud plan for hands-off data pipelines.
Append or replace
Write new rows to the bottom or replace a named range on every run.
Schedule daily
Cloud plan runs recipes on a cron so your Sheet stays fresh automatically.
Formula-compatible
Writes preserve your formulas. Re-running a recipe does not break VLOOKUPs or pivot tables.
No Zapier tax
Direct writes. 1,000 rows cost zero Zapier tasks.

Replacing Zapier for Web Scraping: What Actually Works
**Use the contrarian voice from `docs/brand-voice.md`.** Name the category confusion directly: "Zapier is not a web scraper. It never was." Zapier only connects apps that already expose APIs or webhooks — it cannot extract data from a page that has no API. Document the specific failure mode: user tries to connect Zapier to a website that doesn't have a Zapier integration, and discovers they need a scraper sitting in front of Zapier, not Zapier itself. Then argue that for the vast majority of scraping + routing workflows, Stekpad's native scheduling and direct integrations (Sheets, Notion, Airtable, webhook) eliminate Zapier entirely — fewer failure points, no Zap task limits, no per-task charges. Keep Zapier only for downstream actions that Stekpad doesn't cover (sending Slack messages, creating HubSpot contacts, etc.).
