I’ve setup a Zap to check a Dropbox folder for new files.

Then the file name of the file is inserted into a Google Sheet. 

Now I need to figure out how to automatically have columns from the preview rows used for the new row.

Hi @KevinCrit 

Good question.

I may suggest you use Airtable instead of GSheets.

Airtable has Formula fields, and those will be automatically applied to every record/row.

Google Sheets is used by our accountants, so it’s not really an option. Thanks for the suggestion.
