Hello!

I am trying to do the following: When someone fills out one of two forms on Squarespace, transfer the information to a Google Sheet.

I would like the information to be put in the first empty row from the top rather than creating a new row (I tried using Update Spreadsheet Row, but I believe I may have messed it up somehow). 

What is the process for setting up something like this?

Thank you!

Hi @Learn Music 

You will need to add a “lookup” column to search by to find a row to fill in then update that found row.

  • Action: GSheets - Lookup Row
    • e.g. Column = USED, Value = NO
  • Action: GSheets - Update Row
    • Map the Row/ID from the previous step
    • Set the column Used = YES

Thank you @Troy Tessalone!

I think I understand, but would you mind breaking it down in a bit more detail? Thanks so much!


@Learn Music

Add a column to the GSheet called: USED

  • Set the value for populated rows to: YES
  • Set the value for unpopulated rows to: NO

 

Add these steps:

  • Action: GSheets - Lookup Row
    • e.g. Column = USED, Value = NO
  • Action: GSheets - Update Row
    • Map the Row/ID from the previous step
    • Set the column Used = YES

 

Zap will find the next row with USED = NO, then update that row to be USED = YES, along with the other columns you specify to be set with values.

 

When in doubt, test it out.

Hello @ken.a!

Thank you for checking in. I am still struggling to get the sheet to populate. When I test the step on Zapier, it works, but when I test it from the website it does not. This is what I have:

From experience using Squarespace Forms in Zaps can be a bit tricky to get configured correctly.
