For example, developers can use Sheets as part of a rich workflow that pushes data from their app into Sheets and allows users to collaborate on that data before the updated data is pulled back into the original app, removing altogether the need to copy and paste.<br /> Teams at <a href="http://www.anaplan.com/">Anaplan</a>, <a href="http://asa.na/sheets">Asana</a>, <a href="http://www.sage.com/">Sage</a>, <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/blog/2016/05/google-apps-salesforce-integrations.html">Salesforce</a>, and <a href="http://discover.sap.com/sapanywhere/en-us/index.html">SAP Anywhere</a> are already building interesting integrations with the new Sheets API.
