Hi @dirk-viprent!
That sounds like it should be possible The key to this is that in the Zap you have to create the formulas right there in the editor, where you can also map values that came from your trigger step. Here’s an example of what I mean:
In that post you can see that I’ve added formulas in the Zap, and that after that step runs I’m able to use the output of that formula. In my case, it was modifying text but you can use numbers as well.
Hopefully that helps to get you started!
sounds interesting, but the formulas I need are more complex and require lookups in tables etc. I ‘m investigating the following :
(step 1) from the input form on my website via ZAPier - fill in a line in a google spreadsheed (existing one);
(step 2) the calculation is done in the sheet (automatically, based on the parameters in the sheet)
(step 3) : the result should be send via email.
I think this should be possible :there is a ZAP to fill a line in an existing google sheet; and there is a zap that allows to send a mail based on a row in a google sheet; but is the combination possible
Hi @dirk-viprent!
That sounds like it might be 2 separate Zaps then.
- One of the Zaps triggers on a form submission, finds a row in Google Sheets and updates it.
- Then another Zap triggers on a Google Sheets row update (or maybe you’re creating a new row) then sends an email.
Does that sound like what you’re trying to do?
