Google Sheets Sync

Optional: connect a personal Google Sheet so your data also lives in your own Drive. Your data is already safely stored in your account — Sheets sync is a bonus backup.

1

Create a Google Sheet

Open Google Sheets and create a new blank spreadsheet. Name it anything — "QueryCompass" works.

2

Open Apps Script

In your Sheet go to Extensions → Apps Script. Delete any existing code and paste the script below.

function doGet(e){var action=e.parameter.action;if(action==='ping')return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:true,msg:'QueryCompass connected!'})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();var sheet=ss.getSheets()[0];if(action==='read'){var data=sheet.getDataRange().getValues();return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:true,data:data})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);}return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:false,error:'Unknown action'})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);} function doPost(e){try{var body=JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);if(body.action==='write'){var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();var sheet=ss.getSheets()[0];sheet.clearContents();body.rows.forEach(function(row){sheet.appendRow(row);});return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:true})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);}}catch(err){return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:false,error:err.message})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);}}
