Hi @debutdetails 

You GSheet needs to have headers in Row 1.

@Troy Tessalone thank you for the help, is there no way to update the rows below and keep the formating without creating a whole new row? I used the update spreadsheet row, and the create spreadsheet row options but they both dont seem to work any solutions to this? Or will I just have to do without the lines in the above image and have it normal?

You’d have to use advanced approaches with the GSheets API to enter data in specific cells using a template.

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/guides/concepts

 

Make sure the first row is a header row with column names

We recommend all your columns have text in the header row, but you must have text in the first column header, especially if you are using the Create Spreadsheet Row action. Without any text there, the Zap will send your data to the top of the sheet rather than to the bottom.

Example of how to set headers in your spreadsheet

Zaps are intended to only add rows to the end of the spreadsheet and not any other row.
