Hello I’m adding new rows to Google sheets using a Stripe trigger. In some of the columns I’ve added formulas but every time a new row is added by zapier, the existing data is overwritten. Is there a way to prevent this?

Hi @Koen 

Good question.

You’d be better served using a database app such as Airtable instead of GSheets.

Airtable has a Formula field that will be applied to all records/rows.

Thanks, the idea of creating a reference sheet and hiding it is great. That will do the job.
