Hello, is there a possible way to add an input on the google sheets action step for creating a new spreadsheet row, where everytime a new row is added, one of the columns counts up, this is going to be used for a clipboard so I need to make sure that each person is counted, so we know how many people their are. I have attached a screenshot if that helps with understand,

 

any help would be appreciated.

I need each row of people who is added to have a number counting up if possible

Hi @kipbrentwood 

Try adding this formula to the desired field (cell) in the GSheet Zap configuration: =ROW()-1

 

This will dynamically populate the row #, then minus by 1 to offset for the header row.
