Google Sheets ACTION
Update Row
Overwrite cells in an existing row of a Google Sheet. Provide
row (the 1-based row number — use Find Rows or Read Rows to get it from a row's _rowNumber) and myColumnData, a positional array of values starting at column A (e.g. ["Alice","alice@ingen.test","Engineering"]). Values are written left-to-right from column A, so include the current value of every column up to the one you're changing (read them first via Get Spreadsheet Info / Read Rows); columns after your last value are left unchanged, not cleared. To add a new row instead of overwriting one, use Add Single Row. See the documentation- Action

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Google Sheets account once, then configure and run Update Row 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-update-row",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
google_sheets: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
drive: "Drive",
sheetId: "Spreadsheet ID",
},
})

await mcp.connect(transport)

// fill the arguments itself:
