Step-by-step demo of sending a row snapshot from Google Sheets via Clear Approve
  1. Open Clear Approve from the Extensions menu inside your Google Sheet.
  2. Select rows you want to share. Only the selected data is included.
  3. Automatic formatting turns small selections into clean email cards and larger selections into a PDF attachment.
  4. Click Send. Nothing is shared until you explicitly send it.
  5. Recipients receive a snapshot they can read instantly — no Sheet access required.

Schedule recurring snapshots

Set it once, and Clear Approve sends snapshot emails on your schedule — no manual work required.

  1. Pick your rows and recipients — same as a manual send, but in the Schedule tab.
  2. Choose a frequency: daily, weekly (pick the day), or monthly (pick the date).
  3. Set the time and Clear Approve handles the rest. Snapshots capture the latest data at send time.
  4. Edit or cancel anytime from the sidebar. You stay in full control.

Auto-send when your data changes

Smart Triggers watch a column for value changes and fire an email the moment a condition is met.

  1. Pick a trigger column — for example, a "Status" or "Approval" column.
  2. Set the condition: equals, contains, greater than, less than, or not equal to a value you define.
  3. Choose your rows and recipients. When any cell in the trigger column changes to match, that row's snapshot is sent automatically.
  4. Each row fires once per transition, so recipients aren't spammed with duplicates.
