Question

How to use Slack to search and update a Google Sheets?

B

I am sure there is some combination of Tables, Filters, Paths, and Formatting that can help me accomplish what I’m about to type, but I’m struggling to process map it out. 

I want a user to be able to send a Slack message that searches Column B to find a specific row of a specific Google Sheet. Then the user can send a second Slack message to update the contents of the cell in Column E of that row. 

Racking my brain how to configure this.

Hi @BrandonH! For Column B, can you give an example of what the user will search for? And I assume for the cell in Column E, that would be numbers/text? 

B

@fiona819 Column B are the names of sales opportunities. Column E are next steps for that opportunity -- a one-sentence summary of what needs to happen next.

@BrandonH There are a couple of ways to go about this, and this is one here - screenshot attached. I am also going to send you a private message of a video demo.
