Question

Is it possible to replace all information in a Google Sheet using a zap?

sarahbaker

I would like a Zap to find a new CSV file in Dropbox, and for that new file to replace all information in a Google Sheet, and not add to it. Is that possible?

Hi @sarahbaker 

Good question.

Try using this Zap action: GDrive - Replace File

Thanks @Troy Tessalone. I took a look at that, but I should have specified that I want to replace all rows on a specific tab of a Google Sheet and not completely replace the file. I am not finding that that functionality exists right now. I thought about using Update Rows, but it is possible that the new report that is replacing the old report will be missing some rows that are present in the old report because of sale cancellations, so I don’t think that will work either.

You may have to explore using the GSheets API: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest
