})
const result = await pd.actions.run({

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
sheetId Sheet ID or URL | string | The sheet to act on. Accepts a numeric sheet ID (e.g. 1234567890123456), or a Smartsheet sheet URL, which is resolved to the ID for you. Use List Sheets to enumerate sheets, or Search to find one by name. Required |
columnId Column ID | string | The ID of the column to delete (e.g. 7894561230123456). Use List Columns to find column IDs. WARNING: All cell data in this column will be permanently deleted. Required |
