# Extract data

First, make sure to [create a monitor](/guides/create-a-custom-monitor.md) and [select data for it](/guides/create-a-custom-monitor/selecting-data.md).

In Monitoro, your automations can insert or update data directly in Google Sheet, Airtable, Supabase, or even in your Webflow and Bubble websites.

## Your first data integration

Now let's create your first data integration using this monitor tracking the number of articles in Wikipedia as an example. First open your monitor in [monitoro.app](https://monitoro.app).

Click on **Add automation**, and then you'll see a blank automation as below.

What are you looking at?

In the middle is the *Condition* section, which determines when the automation should run. We can add a condition and by default it will make the automation run every time monitored data changes.

On the right is the *Action* section, which determines what the automation should do. In our case, we would like it to sync data to a spreadsheet, a database or a website automatically. *Demo video is coming soon.*

## Advanced integrations and custom conditions

Our automation will run each time data changes. But what if we wanted it to run when the number of articles on Wikipedia exceeds 7 millions, or any other arbitrary condition?

That's possible! That's what the *Conditions* section in your automations is for. You can learn more about how to customize your automation conditions in the page below.

[Conditions](/reference/automations/conditions.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## What's next?

Now you can kick back and relax, Monitoro's got your back. You can also add more automations to your monitor to send alerts, run tasks or integrate data.
