I have a master Google Sheet called Course Roster. It has a list of the course number in column a and then the enrollees info (first name, last name, email, etc) in subsequent columns. 

 

What I want to do is:

When a new row is created in the master course sheet, create a new Google Sheet (preferably) or worksheet  tab titled with the course number. 

Copy information from new row into new Google Sheet or worksheet tab.

If the new Google Sheet or worksheet tab already exists, just copy the data.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you! 

Hey @DeniceW, welcome to the Community! 👋

To achieve that sort of conditional logic in a Zap it might be best to look at using Paths by Zapier. With paths you can set up different actions to be carried out when certain conditions are met - like if a Find File (Google Drive) action is able to find an existing Google Sheets file or a Find Worksheet (Google Sheets) action is able to find an existing worksheet. You can learn more about Paths here: Add branching logic to Zaps with paths.

That said, Paths is only available on Professional plans and higher. But, it’s possible to create similar conditional logic using filters across multiple Zaps. See our Add branching logic to Zaps with filters guide for more details.

Hope that helps to get you pointed in the right direction. If you get stuck at all in setting that up or have any further questions at all just let us know! 🙂
