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
pCloud	`pcloud`	`app`	This component uses the pCloud app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream polls pCloud for events on this schedule.
Folder ID	`folderId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Folder Event	`event`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`CreatedModified`
Show Deleted?	`showDeleted`	`boolean`	If true, deleted files and folders that can be undeleted will be displayed.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Add Multiple Rows on Google Sheets

Description:Add multiple rows of data to a Google Sheet

Version:0.2.1

Key:google_sheets-add-multiple-rows

View on GitHub

Google Sheets Overview#

Some examples of things you can build using the Google Sheets API include:

A web app that lets users input data into a Google Sheet
A script that automatically updates a Google Sheet with data from another
source
A tool that generates graphs and charts from data in a Google Sheet
A service that sends data from a Google Sheet to another API or application

Action Code#

import googleSheets from "../../google_sheets.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "google_sheets-add-multiple-rows",
  name: "Add Multiple Rows",
  description: "Add multiple rows of data to a Google Sheet",

    if (!rows || !rows.length || !Array.isArray(rows)) {
      inputValidated = false;
    } else {
      rows.forEach((row) => { if (!Array.isArray(row)) { inputValidated = false; } });
    }

    // Throw an error if input validation failed
    if (!inputValidated) {
      console.error("Data Submitted:");
      console.error(rows);
      throw new Error("Rows data is not an array of arrays. Please enter an array of arrays in the `Rows` parameter above. If you're trying to send a single rows to Google Sheets, search for the action to add a single row to Sheets or try modifying the code for this step.");
    }

    return await this.googleSheets.addRowsToSheet({
      spreadsheetId: this.sheetId,

Action Configuration#

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

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets app.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Spreadsheet	`sheetId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Sheet Name	`sheetName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Row Values	`rows`	`string`	Provide an array of arrays. Each nested array should represent a row, with each element of the nested array representing a cell/column value (e.g., passing `[["Foo",1,2],["Bar",3,4]]` will insert two rows of data with three columns each). The most common pattern is to reference an array of arrays exported by a previous step (e.g., `{{steps.foo.$return_value}}`). You may also enter or construct a string that will `JSON.parse()` to an array of arrays.
