I now have a host database that stores data in a Google Sheet and in Tables via its own Zap. Now I have another Zap that starts as a trigger with a "New or Updated Spreadsheet Row" and works as soon as a new customer request comes in.< this not the hostdatabase! At the end of this Zap, an email should be sent, and before that, a loop should run. Any of my hostdatabasecontacts should get a mail of customer requests. Now, I still lack the ability to use the host data from the other Zap here so that I can forward the request to all host database contacts. So how can I use/copy or in any way the stored data from my hostdatabase to a zap where my customer-inquiries starts on behalf on another form entry. If I try to use my Table, where I stored the hostdatabase with find records i have everytime to set a Lookupfield of the table (fine) but also a lookupvalue of my googlesheet-customerdata which in this case doesn´t make sence. Please help me. I think a solution is quiet easy but until now I didn´t find one.

Offcourse, with this Zap I am collecting my B2B-Partnerdata:
and with the following very long Zap (incase of many transformationsteps) I am getting individual requests of my customers:
so and now I need to send every B2B-partner the customer-request via mail. In the mail I am also individualizing the Buttonlink. But I can´t find until now a solution how I can use the incoming-request of customers as trigger to run a automation where I send each B2B-Partner a mail… here is the open Zap:
would be great if you can help me with a view options and a step-by-step description. I have also already tried to work with Lookup, but there the Zap force me to take a Lookupfield from Sheet A and a Lookupvalue from sheet B, but these are complete different sheets. I have my B2B-Customerdata also collected in Tables, but with the actual aopen Zapway I can´t find a solution on my own.
Many Thanks for your help🙏

FYI: 1 Code step can be used to replace multiple Formatter steps.
Also, you may want to look into using AI to do the language translation and possibly save steps.

If you are trying to get multiple rows from a GSheet, then those rows would all need to have the same lookup value.
e.g. If you had a lookup table like below, then you could use GSheets Lookup Row(s) and search by the LOOKUP field for a value of YES and that would return the 3 rows.
| LOOKUP | BIZ |
|---|---|
| YES | A |
| YES | B |
| YES | C |

Thanks for your feedback. Have I to update both sheets with by a lookupcolunm YES?
Considering my latest screenshot, I'm a bit unsure about the sequence of steps I should follow. The trigger is a new customer inquiry in sheet A. The goal is that in the end, each contact from Sheet B receives an individual email with the formatted request. So, the starting point is 'New or Updated Spreadsheet A,' then 'Lookup Spreadsheet B Column YES?' Do I also need to have a YES column in A? Or am I totally wrong? I also have to set up a Loop, which react on the step befor, so in my opinion on the all sheet B contects rows from bottom up. Would be great if you help me a bit more detailed how to set this up.
Big Thanks

If you want to be able to get all the rows from GSheet B, then you will need to add a lookup column that has the same value for all the rows.
So, the starting point is 'New or Updated Spreadsheet A,' then 'Lookup Spreadsheet B Column YES?'
Yes.
Do I also need to have a YES column in A?
It can be any column.
