This workflow identifies new rows in Google Sheets using a separate column keeping track of already processed rows. For this approach to work, the sheet needs to meet two requirements: A unique identifier for each row is required A column used to differentiate new/processed rows is present Our example sheet looks like this: So the row identifier is named ID, the new/processed column is called Processed. Update the workflow accordingly if your columns have different names. Now if the workflow runs, it discovers all three rows as new.

Transform data in Google Sheets

This workflow appends, lookup, updates, and reads data from a Google Sheet spreadsheet. Set node: The Set node is used to generate data that we want to add to Google Sheets. Depending on your use-case you might have data coming from a different source. For example, you might be fetching data from a WebHook call. Add the node that will fetch the data that you want to add to the Google Sheet. Use can then use the Set node to set the data that you want to add to the Google Sheets. Google Sheets node: This node will add the data from the Set node in a new row to the Google Sheet. You will have to enter the Spreadsheet ID and the Range to specify which sheet you want to add the data to. Google Sheets1 node: This node looks for a specific value in the Google Sheet and returns all the rows that contain the value. In this example, we are looking for the value Berlin in our Google Sheet. If you want to look for a different value, enter that value in the Lookup Value field, and specify the column in the Lookup Column field. Set1 node: The Set node sets the value of the rent by $100 for the houses in Berlin. We pass this new data to the next nodes in the workflow. Google Sheets2 node: This no
