Creating a Zap to keep track of contact info

Hi! I’m trying to use Zapier to create an integration that will take entries from a Google Forms survey and 1) add new entries; 2) update existing entries (e.g. email or phone # contact) in Google Sheets.

Basically trying to use Google Sheets to store member info, and want the contact portions to get auto-updated so I don’t have to manually change pre-existing fields. 

Thanks!

FYI: GForms can be linked to a GSheet to auto add new entries.

GSheets available actions via Zapier: https://zapier.com/apps/google-sheets/integrations#triggers-and-actions

Hey there,

Just to summarise the thread here. 

You can use Google Forms which can be linked to a Google Sheet to auto add new entries.

The list of available actions via Zapier: https://zapier.com/apps/google-sheets/integrations#triggers-and-actions

In order to  auto-update existing entries, you can first perform a Lookup of the record in your first action step and then use an update spreadsheet row task as your next action (using the row ID from the Lookup step).

Thanks, Troy! Wondering how I can then auto-update existing entries though. (i.e. can it be set up to reference existing data columns and check for inconsistencies, then update the specific fields with the new info?)
