IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Google Sheets account once, then configure and run Insert Dimension from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

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-insert-dimension",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_sheets: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    drive: "Drive",
    sheetId: "Spreadsheet ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

Insert Dimension inputs
Property Type Description
drive Drive string
Select a specific drive to search. Defaults to All Drives (My Drive and all Shared Drives you have access to) when no selection is made. To limit to your personal drive or a Shared Drive, select it from this list.
Optional Dynamic
sheetId Spreadsheet ID string
Select a spreadsheet or provide a spreadsheet ID
Required Dynamic
dimension Dimension string
The dimension to insert
Required
startIndex Start Index integer
The start (inclusive) of the span, or not set if unbounded
Optional
endIndex End Index integer
The end (exclusive) of the span
Required
inheritFromBefore Inherit From Before boolean
Whether dimension properties should be extended from the dimensions before or after the newly inserted dimensions. True to inherit from the dimensions before (in which case the start index must be greater than 0), and false to inherit from the dimensions after. For example, if row index 0 has red background and row index 1 has a green background, then inserting 2 rows at index 1 can inherit either the green or red background. If inheritFromBefore is true, the two new rows will be red (because the row before the insertion point was red), whereas if inheritFromBefore is false, the two new rows will be green (because the row after the insertion point was green).
