# Coda

Coda is an all-in-one doc platform that combines documents, spreadsheets, and databases into a single workspace. Teams use Coda to build internal tools, track projects, manage data, and automate workflows — all without writing code.

Connecting Coda to Coupler.io lets you pull your Coda tables, docs, and structured data into any destination for reporting, analysis, or AI-assisted workflows.

## Why connect Coda to Coupler.io?

* **Export Coda tables to spreadsheets or BI tools** — send rows from any Coda table directly to Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, or Looker Studio
* **Combine data across docs** — use Append or Join transformations to merge data from multiple Coda docs or tables into one dataset
* **Feed Coda data to AI tools** — route your structured Coda data to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Cursor, or OpenClaw for analysis and summarization
* **Keep data in sync automatically** — schedule recurring refreshes so your reports always reflect the latest Coda data

## Prerequisites

* A Coda account (free or paid)
* A Coda API key — you can generate one in your [Coda account settings](https://coda.io/account) under **API settings**
* Read access to the docs, tables, or pages you want to export

## Quick start

{% hint style="success" %}
Start with the **Rows** entity if you want to export structured table data — it's the most common use case and gives you the most actionable dataset.

## How to connect

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Create a new data flow in Coupler.io.** Go to your Coupler.io workspace, click **Add data flow**, and search for **Coda** as your source.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enter your Coda API key.** In your Coda account, navigate to **Account settings → API settings** and generate a new API token. Copy the token and paste it into the API key field in Coupler.io.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select an entity.** Choose which type of data you want to pull — for example, **Rows** to export table data, **Docs** to get a list of your documents, or **Pages** to pull page metadata.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Choose a destination.** Select where you want your Coda data to land — Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, Looker Studio, or an AI destination like ChatGPT or Claude.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Run the data flow.** Click **Run** to execute a manual sync. Once it completes successfully, your Coda data will appear in your chosen destination.
