My Zap works fine for smaller Data sets, but some that I have are over 250 rows, and I keep getting this error:
This Google Sheets step hit an error
("('Too many requests. It will be retried after 121 seconds.', 121)", 121)
I think the solution is to write the whole table at once rather than using the ‘Create Spreadsheet Row’
Adding a Delay step has not helped. Has anyone else run into this?
+11Hi and welcome to the Community
The Google Sheets Create Spreadsheet Row action is designed to only create a single row at a time. If you’re wanting to create more than one row every time the Zap runs it would be best to use the Create Multiple Spreadsheet Rows Google Sheets action. Can you give that a try and let us know if that sorts it?
But if you’re only trying to create a single row each time the Zap runs, can you share what the Zap’s trigger is? Also, what type of Delay action did you add?
If the Delay action used Delay For instead of Delay After Queue (which waits until the previous Zap run finishes), that could explain it. With Delay For, if the Zap was triggered a large number of times in a short window, each run would be delayed by the same selected amount of time, so they'd all still try to write around that time.
