I have a google sheets, am able to linked with thunkable and display the data, but if i want to insert or update data, am using Third party “[sheetDB.io](http://sheetDB.io)”, is there any easy way to insert or update directly with the use of Third party ---

Why are you not using Thunkable blocks for that? Is there a reason making you not to use Thunkable to update/create rows in your sheet? ---

I have my data inside google sheets… my idea was to read and write to that sheet…and make my google sheet as a backend for my app… is that a good idea, or there is any alternative idea ---

Very easy, Connect a sheet using the Data Sources option. In your screen, add DVL (Data viewer List) and bind it to the sheet. [https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/608d029e7cf9e70012ed7a24](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/608d029e7cf9e70012ed7a24) Note that when you copy the project, the link to my Google sheet will not be copied so you need to use a sheet from your side. One smart thing Thunkable did is having local tables, Google sheet and Airtables that you connect using the Data Sources option to use the same coding blocks. So if you worked with local tables or Airtable then you already have the coding experience to work with Google sheet. ---

You will find the blocks to manage the sheet under Data Sources ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/a/2a7534776ee715a1901819347db3e47cd51ba3f2.png) ---
