Google Sheets ACTION

Find Rows

Search for rows matching a value in a specific column. Use Get Spreadsheet Info to discover column header names. Returns matching rows as objects with row numbers (useful for subsequent Update Rows calls). For simple reads without filtering, use Read Rows instead.

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "google_sheets-find-rows",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_sheets: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },

    sheetName: "Worksheet Name",
  },
})

console.log(result)
