- Enter a name for the Integration and select the integration provider from the drop down list ("Google Sheet" in this case) and click on "Create"
- Click in the checkbox next to the name of the newly created integration to "Enable" the integration (please refresh the page if you do not see the newly created integration in the list)
- Once the integration is enabled, click on the padlock icon to "Authenticate" the integration, this should open a new window with the login screen for the integration provider you are trying to authenticate with (Google login screen in this instance)
- Once "Enabled" and "Authenticated", the integration options should look like the one shown below - with a check mark indicating the integration is enabled and a green 'locked' padlock icon indicating that the integration has been successfully "Authenticated"

- Depending on the load on the Integration system, the goal will be populated with the data from the Google Sheet selected immediately or during the next integration run (which is every 3 hours at the moment).
