Good day, nice if you can help me. 1. I have a zap that I use to create a new record in a database when there is a new line in a Google Sheet. 2. If successful, this database returns a recordID. 3. Now I want to add that recordID to my Google Sheet. 4. How do I do that? I see in Zapier that the ID is returned and can be seen in History/Output of a zapier run. But how do I pick up that RecordID?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best, Jan-Pieter

Hi there, @Jan-Pieter! Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Community! 🎉
I wanted to add onto Troy’s recommendation since he’s right, you’ll need to add a Google Sheets “Update Row” action. That said, you should be able to dynamically map the recordID from the previous step using custom values!

Thanks @Troy Tessalone and @christina.d, you both helped me do this. The trick is explained in a link in the article Cristina shared Round Robin setup. With this step you can retrieve and use the recordid from the previous step.
In the next step (Step 5) you can update your google sheet by using the RowID of the google sheet in step 1.
I would not have made it out of here without your help. Super thanks.
