How can we improve InDesign?

← Adobe InDesign: Feature Requests

make data merge possible from Google Sheet without being forced to make csv

I use DataMerge a lot and its really boring to be forced to export an update to csv when working in collaboration.
If we could use directly the source file Google Sheet we could improve our workflow (Easy Catalog does it !)

    Hi! Is there any update on this? This makes InDesign much more powerful. Please Adobe make this happen! :)

    5 years later and Adobe still ignores this constant feature request. Stop paying for their ****** product, as they're clearly perfectly content to rest on their laurels and never do anything about it,.

    This would be amazing! We print hundreds of labels for our coffee company using datamerge. Exporting CSVs from Google Sheets multiple times per day. If they could be directly tied together it would be a game changer!

    We're building automated reports, currently only using google sheets and exporting to XD, but we want to take reporting to a new level using InDesign to provide a designed format into our brand.

    I wish I could vote this 1000 times, the ease that this would create across platforms for simple stuff like keeping a restaurant website menu version and a print menu version updated and in sync would become so simplified.

    I'm slowly getting my client weaned off sending me file attachments. We need this, please make it happen, just one little URL filed is all, please :)

    These days I'm collaborating more through the cloud with clients and coworkers. Lots -if not all- of them are already working with Google Sheets, specially now in these post-pandemic days, having this available will make my Adobe subscription even MORE justifiable. Please make this an option!

    Considering how co-operative work across departments relies on constant data exchange, google sheets allow us to update information without exchanging excel files.

    Being able to extract information directly from an online document would alleviate a lot of issues, including formatting issues (windows vs mac CSVs for example, or UTF-8 issues when dealing with special characters such as here in Germany.)

    make our life easier by allowing date marge from google sheets link instead of download CSV then import
