Hey team! I have a Google Sheet set up so that when I type on a new row, an appointment is made in my Google Calendar. If I sort the sheet by date, will that cause issues with my Zap? Should I simply turn the Zap off, then sort, then turn it back on?

Hi @samueljames 

Good question.

 

The Google Sheets trigger on my Zap stopped working

If your Google Sheets trigger stops working suddenly, first check if you’ve accidentally inserted a blank row anywhere in the spreadsheet. Zapier interprets a blank row as the end of the spreadsheet and may have trouble finding any new rows below it.

In addition to this, making the following changes to your spreadsheet while the Zap is turned on can cause errors:

  • Deleting existing rows or columns.
  • Adding rows anywhere other than to the bottom of your sheet.
  • Resorting the sheet.
  • Renaming/adding/rearranging columns.
  • Renaming the sheet.
  • Filtering the sheet.

If you need to make any of those changes to your Google Sheet, turn your Zap off while you work on the spreadsheet, and then turn it back on again.


Thanks so much Troy, easy answer!
