I want to set a Zap that transfers data to Shopify as a new product when I add a new product (row) to my Excel sheet. I haven’t been able to get a Zap to work thus far. A couple of clarifying questions:does adding a new row literally mean I need to insert a new row, or does adding data in cells in the bottom row constitute a ‘new row’ should I be setting the zap to consider ‘update in row’ instead? If so, how long do I have to enter data in my columns of that row before the Zap is triggered?

How can a Zap transfer new product data to Shopify when a new row is added to an Excel, and what is considered a new row?

Hi @candrewsart

Good question.

Hey there @candrewsart, in my experience;

No you do not need to right click/insert a new row. It can just be filling in the bottom row.
I would recommend using the Updated Rows trigger as a catch all as this will catch any new “inserted” rows and any updated ones.

If you are not stuck on using Excel, you can also use Google Sheets which operates very similar as a live document, and has a New or Updated Spreadsheet Row option.
