Question

How do I ensure automatic CSV updates overwrite existing spreadsheet data in Google Sheets without duplication?

I have a CSV file that is automatically updated. I need the data in this file to overwrite the data in the spreadsheet. Currently I have managed to import the data correctly with the action "Create Multiple Spreadsheet Rows in Google Sheets" but every time the activator starts, the data is added to the first free row, thus duplicating the data. I attach two screens for further clarification. How can I do this?

Hi @studiotr

The solution would involve using the GSheets API via one of these available advanced actions to clear the spreadsheet worksheet rows except for the header row.
