  • Do I have to create a new Zap for each sheet or is there a way to set up a trigger for multiple sheets?

Hi all. So here is what I am trying to do. I have a Google Spreadsheet with a sheet A and a sheet B. What I would like to do is when Sheet A or Sheet B has a row added the Zap will send that info to a database. 

 

How do I set up the trigger so that when data in either sheet is added the trigger is initiated. Currently when I use a google sheet as a trigger I can only select one sheet. Do I have to create a new zap for each sheet or is there a way to setup a trigger for multiple sheets? 

 

Hi, 

 

Yes, you need to use a separate zap for each sheet. 

Hi @joester1976,

Thank you for posting in the Zapier Community! Happy to help here.

To support what @MohSwellam said above, yes, you’ll need to have two separate Zaps to achieve your end goal. At present, we can only set up one (1) Google Sheets per trigger step -- so creating two separate Zaps for each sheet is needed in this scenario.

The Zap workflows would look like this: 

Zap 1:

  1. Google Sheets: New Spreadsheet Row (Sheet A)
  2. The Database app of your choice: Create Database Record 

Zap 2:

  1. Google Sheets: New Spreadsheet Row (Sheet B)
  2. The Database app of your choice: Create Database Record 

Does that point you in the right direction? Let me know your thoughts!
