Question

How can I use Paths to launch different apps based on content in a new Google Sheets row?

I have a Zap that uses "New Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets" as a trigger. This trigger is activated when responses are submitted in a Google Form linked to the spreadsheet. However, depending on the content of one of the cells in that row, a different app will be executed using paths. How can I make sure that the app launcher always reads the new row created in the app to decide which app to launch?

Hi @yoshi_castro,

The Zap will always execute once there’s a new row in the spreadsheet. However, you have to lookout for these scenarios that can cause your Google Sheets trigger to break.
