What each app adds
Google Sheets
Triggers
- New row in a Google SheetRuns when a new row is added to a Google Sheets spreadsheet, with the row's cells by their column headings and the spreadsheet and tab it was added to, for a step that writes back to the row, such as Update cells in row.
Actions
- Add rowAdd a row to the end of a tab.
- Create spreadsheetCreate a new spreadsheet.
- Delete spreadsheetDelete a spreadsheet permanently.
- Overwrite rowOverwrite a whole row, from column A, with values in column order. To change only some cells of a row, use Update cells in row.
- Update cells in rowSet some cells of one row by column name, leaving the rest of the row as it is. Pair it with Read rows to write a result back to the row it came from (row.row_number). A column that doesn't exist yet is added to the header row.
- Clear rowEmpty a row's cells without deleting the row.
Google Drive
