Trigger#

New Updates (Instant) on Google Sheets

Description:Emit new event each time a row or cell is updated in a spreadsheet.

Version:0.2.5

Key:google_sheets-new-updates

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Trigger Code#

import httpBase from "../common/http-based/sheet.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";
import newUpdates from "../common/new-updates.mjs";

export default {
  ...httpBase,
  ...newUpdates,
  key: "google_sheets-new-updates",
  type: "source",
  name: "New Updates (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event each time a row or cell is updated in a spreadsheet.",
  version: "0.2.5",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...httpBase.props,
    ...newUpdates.props,
  },
  methods: {
    ...httpBase.methods,
    ...newUpdates.methods,
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Push notification renewal schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The Google Drive API requires occasionally renewal of push notification subscriptions. This runs in the background, so you should not need to modify this schedule.
Spreadsheet	`sheetID`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Worksheet(s)	`worksheetIDs`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Google Sheets uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Sheets account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Sheets and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Sheets API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
