How to Install and Activate Flookup

Installing Flookup

1. Temporarily log out of any other secondary Google accounts.
   If you do not do this, Flookup might fail to authenticate correctly. See the Google account authentication guide.
2. Install in one click from the Google Workspace Marketplace (recommended), then continue at step 5.
3. To install from inside Sheets instead, open on your computer the Google Sheets spreadsheet in which you want to install Flookup.
4. In the menu, click Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons. In the new window, search for "Flookup" or "Flookup Data Wrangler", click on it, then click "Install" and "Continue".
5. To allow Flookup to work, read the important "Request access" message and then click the "Allow" button.
6. When the installation completes, click the button labelled "Done" to finish.

Flookup installs as a Google Workspace add-on rather than as desktop software, so there is no installer to run and no operating system component to deploy.
An individual install needs no administrator rights, which matters on managed or locked-down machines where installing desktop applications is blocked.
A Google Workspace administrator can also install it for a whole domain or for selected groups, so nobody has to install it individually. They manage this from the Google Workspace Admin console and can target a whole domain, a single group or one user.

Because it runs inside Google Sheets, Flookup works on macOS, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS, and in the browser on Excel for the web, without a separate build for any of them.

How to Use Flookup

See the result first, then test the full product on your own data, then keep it only if it proves suitable. Fees are on the pricing page.

Flookup provides a focused workflow for working on your own data. Standard Data Cleaning runs from the sidebar for full workflows such as fuzzy matching, deduplication and standardisation. The documentation overview explains the available workflows in detail.

How the Free Tier, Trial and Pass Work

The free tier starts immediately with no credit card. The 7-day trial opens the menu tools without limits and includes the AI features, also with no credit card, and no payment is taken automatically when it ends. If you choose to continue, the Essential Pass is a one-time $15 payment that includes 45 hours of processing and the Extended Pass is a one-time $150 payment that includes 547.5 hours; neither renews.

The Essential Pass includes 45 hours of processing, the Extended Pass includes 547.5 hours and the Team Pass includes 2,737.5 hours shared by five accounts. None renew, and unused time does not expire. Row limits apply per run, not to the pass as a whole: 1,000 rows on the Essential Pass, 10,000 on the Extended Pass and 100,000 on the Team Pass. The free tier includes one 50 row menu run per day, up to 10 runs a month. See the pricing page for current purchase details.

A Tour of the Interface

These are the three screens you will spend the most time in, drawn from the current add-on. The wording, the field order and the function names match what you get from Extensions > Flookup Data Wrangler in Google Sheets; only the surrounding Sheets window is left out.

How to Activate Your Pass

Activation needs no licence code. Your pass activates on the email address you pay with, so sign in to Google Sheets with that same address and open the dashboard. To move the pass to a different address, open Extensions > Flookup Data Wrangler > Account Management, then select Change email while signed in with the current address. Both the old and the new address receive a confirmation email when the change goes through. On a Team Pass this moves the licence owner's address: the other members keep signing in with their own Google accounts and the same licence key, so nothing changes for them and no seat is used up. Accounts that already hold a licence key from the earlier system keep working as they are. The steps below cover what to expect.

Payment and Checkout

Use the purchase link on the pricing page to open PayPal checkout. Your pass activates on the email address you pay with, so pay with the Google account you use in Google Sheets. Available payment methods, currency and the amount due are shown by PayPal and may depend on your location. Review the final total, including any additional charges shown, before confirming your purchase.

Checking Your Activation

You can check your activation status from the Flookup dashboard in Google Sheets.

How to Troubleshoot Your Plan

• Whenever you switch to a different spreadsheet or create a new one, you must navigate to Extensions > Flookup Data Wrangler > Account Management, then select Dashboard and click the Fetch status button. This enables Flookup for that specific document.
• Reinstall Flookup on individual accounts, not domain-wide as an administrator.
• Make sure that you are only logged into one account during the installation process. If that is not the case, log out of all secondary accounts or switch to incognito mode and then reinstall Flookup.
• If Flookup is still inactive after following all these steps, please contact us for immediate assistance.

When Jobs Outgrow One Run

If a run keeps hitting the execution limit, split the range into smaller batches or move the job to Data Cleaning Automation.
Automation works through the range in chunks in the background and resumes from the last completed row, so large or recurring jobs finish without you keeping the sidebar open.

Pulling Data In from Another System

Data Connectors bring records from Airtable, a SQL database or Salesforce into a staging sheet, so you can clean and match them in Google Sheets instead of exporting CSVs by hand. Connectors are included with the Extended Pass and the Team Pass.

The full setup, including the scopes each token needs and the ports Apps Script can reach, is in Data Connectors.
