How to you add information into different columns when creating a new row in Google Sheets?

I am trying to create a step in my zap that will Create Spreadsheet (Google Sheets) with new headers in the columns. I added all my selections from a previous sheet in the zap. The problem is that it keeps creating the sheet with all the headers in the same cell. I cannot find any documentation on this Action or I would not have come here. 

 

Any thoughts?

HI @KCEO ,

Can you elaborate your question a bit more with screenshots for example?

  • How does the spreadsheet look like now when the automation runs? 
  • How should the spreadsheet look?
  • How did you configure the zap flow?

This will help.

Just wanted to follow up here for anyone that’s also running into this issue, to add that this behaviour happens when the different header names are put into a single field in the Zap.

When manually setting the names for each header column they should be put into separate fields - as per column3 and column4 in the example below:

If the header names are all added into a single field like column1,column2, they will be added to a single header cell in the spreadsheet that is created:
