Target Audience

  • Business Analysts: Need to automate data processing tasks in Google Sheets to save time and reduce errors.
    - Data Scientists: Require regular updates to datasets for analysis without manual intervention.
    - Project Managers: Want to keep track of project metrics and automate reporting processes.
    - Small Business Owners: Looking for efficient ways to manage inventory or sales data without extensive technical knowledge.

    • Problem Solved

    This workflow automates the process of reading data from a Google Sheet every 2 hours and updating two other sheets with the same data. It eliminates the need for manual data entry and ensures that data across sheets remains synchronized, reducing the risk of errors and saving valuable time.

    Workflow Steps

  • Cron Node: Triggers the workflow every 2 hours based on the specified cron expression. This ensures that the data is always up-to-date.
    2. Read Sheet Node: Reads data from the specified range (Data!A:G) in the Google Sheet. The rawData parameter is set to true to get the data in its original format.
    3. Write Sheet 1 Node: Updates the first target Google Sheet with the data read from the source sheet. This node operates with the same range defined in the read step.
    4. Write Sheet 2 Node: Similarly updates a second target Google Sheet with the same data, ensuring consistency across multiple sheets.

    • Customization Guide

  • Change Trigger Frequency: Modify the cronExpression in the Cron node to adjust how often the workflow runs (e.g., every 1 hour: 0 /1 *).
    - Adjust Data Range: Update the range parameter in the Read Sheet node to specify a different range of cells if needed (e.g., Data!A:B).
    - Modify Write Operations: Change the operation parameter in the Write Sheet nodes to append if you want to add new data instead of updating existing data.
    - Add More Nodes: Incorporate additional nodes for further processing or analysis of the data before writing it to the sheets.
