How do I refresh Google Sheet data after delay in Zap to accurately transform values to CSV?

Hi everyone! I have created a Zap that will transform Google Sheet values to CSV. One column is added by a different Zap about ~30 seconds after this Zap is initiated. I created a delay for 5 minutes. It seems that the Zap does not refresh the data in those 5 minutes.

Two questions:

Should I add a Lookup Row step for it to refresh the fields after 5 minutes?

Would it be better for me to create a subzap, and if so, how will it know which row to format?

Hi @elizabethfreewill 

Good question.

You will need to add a GSheet Lookup Row step after the Delay in order to get fresh data.
