Hey Zapers. I’m hoping one of you geniuses can help with a zap. I’d like the zap to update a Smartsheet every time a Google Sheets gets updated. I added a column to the Google Sheet with the Smartsheet row ID but not sure where to go from here. 

Hi @chanse 

For us to have more info, post screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode.

Zap action: Smartsheet - New Row Update

 

Here you go. I am the owner of the Asset Data Smartsheet so I’m not sure why there are no options available. 

@chanse 

Make sure to test your Zap step 1 in the ‘Test’ section.

Then you can map the column with the Smartsheet Row ID to the Row ID field in Step 2 using the ‘Custom’ option, which is accessed via the ...] button.

 

Ok. Completed test on step 1 successfully and configured step 2 using the custom option but the test is failing.

Error indicates there was no data to use to update the Smartsheet Row.

There should be other fields shown for you to map other data points from GSheets to Smartsheets to update.

A possible workaround is to select a static Row ID to then see if that causes other fields to appear for you to use, then once mapped with data, switch the Row ID back to have a dynamic variable mapped.

 

 

 

 

"There was no data available to create or update a row in Smartsheet. Either the Trigger did not provide any data, or none of the Action fields were mapped to Trigger fields. Please check your configuration."

The "Add Row to Spreadsheet" and "New Row Update" Actions require that at least one field be filled out in the Zap.
If you encountered this error while using one of these Actions, it is possible that during the configuration of the Zap none of the Action fields were mapped (by selecting a dropdown option) or manually filled with values.
Alternatively, the Trigger may not have provided any data.

 

Not all columns from the sheet are displayed during configuration.

Columns that are locked based on your sharing permission level won't be displayed.

When I select the Static Row ID option, I get an error that No options are available.

May depend on your Smartsheet plan.
