Automated synchronization of third-party data from within a collaborative electronic data platform

A method comprising:

• causing, by a collaborative electronic data platform, a collaborative electronic document to be concurrently presentation on a first user device of a first user and on a second user device of a second user;
• receiving a request of the first user to insert one or more first data items into the collaborative electronic document;
• causing a list of tabular data schemas each defined by a respective application programming interface (API) to be presented on the first user device;
• receiving, from the first user device, a user selection of a first tabular data schema from the list of tabular data schemas;
• inserting the one or more first data items into the collaborative electronic document according to the first tabular data schema;
• and
• causing the collaborative electronic document with the one or more first data items to be concurrently presented on the first user device and on the second user device.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• providing, by a collaborative electronic data platform, a collaborative electronic document comprising a first table associated with a third-party platform, the first table comprising a first plurality of data objects, wherein each data object comprises one or more respective data items;
• receiving, via an application programming interface (API) for the third-party platform, one or more data items for the first table;
• generating an update query to be presented on a first user device of a first user, the update query prompting the first user to confirm whether to update the first table based on the one or more received data items;
• and
• in response to a first user input of the first user to update the first table, updating a first data object of the first table based on a first new received data item of the one or more received data items, and causing the first table with the updated first data object to be presented on the first user device.
