Hi all, I am looking to create a zap to send data from our CRM into a Google Sheet. I want the zap to create a new Google sheet (duplicate an existing sheet) then update the duplicate sheet with the client data pulled from the CRM. Does this functionality exist? I am trying to do so but haven’t had any luck at all. 

 

I have attached a screenshot of the snippet of sheet I’d like to duplicate for each client that makes it to this stage. Then have the zap populate those fields.

Hi @A90 - JC 

Yes, it definitely exists. There are a couple of ways you could tackle it.. You will need to add a header row to your google sheet in order for Zapier to load in input fields though. https://zapier.com/help/doc/how-to-set-up-your-google-spreadsheet-to-work-with-zapier 

Option 1 (very task intensive): 
Trigger: Whatever trigger you have from your CRM
Action: Create Spreadsheet (duplicate a template)
Loop: Update each row with value

The loop is the tricky part.. as you essentially have to loop through each row and update only a few columns.. Not really the best solution but could work. 

Option 2 (use reference formulas)

If you were to add a second worksheet to your spreadsheet you could have Zapier add 1 row to the second worksheet and then use reference formulas on your formatted sheet to reference specific cells on the second sheet.
