Question

Zapier Utilities formatter Line-Item to Text & Text to Line-Item not working for Google Sheets search.

Hi,

So it seems that the output for Zapier Utilities formatter Line-Item to Text & Text to Line-Item is not giving me the appropriate response needed to to do a line-item Google Sheet Search. I’m using both Utilities’ type because I read in two other Community Support Threads that the value being formatted is already an array or something other than a comma separated list.

 

Below are some screenshots:

 

I am attempting to use the Nouns value from ChatGPT response.

I am not sure what is going...the data is there:

Any insight would help...

Hi @gravitygone 

Good question.

The GSheet Lookup Value field doesn’t work with line items, but will return line items (aka 0+ rows) for the matching lookup value.

Hi @gravitygone 

Good question.

Gotcha...What would be the best way to iterate through the values and search each row? By JS code? or is there a zap tool that can do this?

Hey there, @gravitygone! 👋 Have you had a chance to try out Troy’s idea of adding Looping by Zapier action to the Zap yet? If you're running into any snags on that, do let us know. Always happy to lend a hand! 🙂
