Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Zapier add new rows to my Google Sheets and break formulas on other tabs?

Zapier adds new rows to Google Sheets to update them with data from connected apps. This can break formulas on other tabs that reference the original sheet. To avoid this issue, you can use functions like INDIRECT, ROW, FILTER, IMPORTRANGE, QUERY, and ARRAYFORMULA which allow you to isolate data and make your formulas immune to the addition of new rows.

What can I do if Zapier sends data to the wrong columns in my Google Sheet?

If Zapier is sending data to the wrong columns, ensure that your Zap is correctly mapped to the appropriate columns in Google Sheets. Check the setup of your Zap to confirm that the data from the apps is aligned with the correct columns.

Can Zapier trigger on rows in a sheet in another Team Drive?

Yes, Zapier can trigger on rows in a sheet that is located in another Team Drive. This is important to consider when configuring your Zaps, especially if you work with multiple Team Drives.

What should I do if #ERROR appears in my Google Sheet from data sent by Zap?

If #ERROR appears in your sheet after data is sent by Zap, it may be due to incorrect data formatting or a misconfigured Zap. Review the data being sent and the corresponding Zap setup to correct any inconsistencies or errors.

How do I handle blank rows that Zapier cannot write to in Google Sheets?

Zapier cannot write to blank rows in Google Sheets. Instead of writing to blank rows, use the delete row action to remove them. This will help maintain the integrity of your spreadsheet data and avoid issues with your Zaps.
