Hi, I’m a first time Zapier user with no code backgound hoping someone can help point out what I might be doing wrong.
- Apps I’m trying to connect: BambooHR (premium app) to Google Sheets.
- Zap level: Pro trial
- Intended outcome: have Google Sheets mirror the data that is held in a BambooHR report and update it’s data when any of the selected data in BambooHR report changes.
- Intended behaviour: Google Sheets to call data from BambooHR daily (or twice daily ideally, ie every 12 hours) and update/overwrite the data held in Google Sheets with the data found in BambooHR.
What I’ve tried so far without success:
ZAP 1:
(1) Trigger 1: Changed report in BambooHR (test = OK)
(2) Action: Update spreadsheet row(s) in Google Sheets
Inserted a mandatory row ID (as per this Zapier help article), however it returns this error:
Failed to create an update spreadsheet row(s) in Google Sheets. Unable to get a value when looking for "responses". Is it empty or missing?
ZAP 2:
I subsequently tried a different Zap
(1) Trigger 1: Changed report in BambooHR (test = OK)
(2) Action: Lookup Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets (Test = OK)
Tickbox checked: “Create Google Sheets Spreadsheet Row if it doesn’t exist yet?”
(3) Update Spreadh Row in Google Sheets (Test = OK)
However when I subsequently publish and run the Zap it transfers no employee data in BambooHR to the Google Sheet
ZAP 3:
Lastly, I found and tried this Zapier template, “Create multiple Google Sheets rows for updated BambooHR reports”. The steps I set up were
(1) Trigger 1: Changed report in BambooHR (test = OK)
(2) Action: Create multiple Spreadsheet Rows in Google Sheets (Test = OK)
Again, when I subsequently publish and run the Zap it transfers no employee data in BambooHR to the Google Sheet.
Can anyone confirm if my ask (which I’d assume is relatively simple) is or isn’t possible in Zapier and, if possible, what I need to change to fix it please?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Will
