Altering the structure of a google spreadsheet

Hi,

I have a zap triggered by the adding of a new line in a google spreadsheet.

It exploits many of the columns (fields) from the document.

But now, I need to add a column right in the middle of the document.

Will it screw the mapping up, or is the mapping really connected to the name of the column ?

Thank you !

The mapping will be messed up, so you will have to remap the Zap.

In addition to this, the following changes to your spreadsheet whilst your Zap is turned on can cause a disconnect with your Zap:

  • Deleting existing rows or columns.
  • Adding rows anywhere other than to the bottom of your sheet.
  • Resorting the sheet.
  • Renaming/adding/rearranging new columns.
  • Renaming the sheet.
