Before setting up your “Google Sheets” trigger nodes, ensure that you have already integrated your Google Sheets account with SleekFlow. You can follow the steps in this Help Center article to complete the connection.

 

 

Google Sheet row updated

The “Google Sheet row updated” trigger activates whenever an existing row in the selected Google Sheet is modified. This allows you to automate actions in SleekFlow, ensuring seamless data synchronization and workflow efficiency.

Here are a few ways you can leverage the “Google Sheet row updated” trigger:

  • Send an automated message based on data updates
    • When a row is updated with new information, you can automatically send a personalized message to the relevant contact. This is useful for notifying customers about changes in their orders, appointment rescheduling, or subscription updates.
  • Update contact details in SleekFlow
    • If an existing row contains updated customer details, such as a new phone number, email, or status change, you can sync this data directly to SleekFlow’s contact database. This ensures that your records remain accurate and up to date.
  • Automate coupon and voucher tracking
    • If a redemption status is updated in Google Sheets (e.g., from “Unused” to “Redeemed”), SleekFlow can trigger an automated action such as sending a confirmation message, applying loyalty rewards, or reminding the customer about upcoming offers.
       

Set up "A row is updated in Google Sheets" trigger node

You can follow the steps below to set up the “Google Sheet row added” trigger node:

  1. Click on the node to open up its form, which will appear on the right side of the screen
  2. The node form contains the following fields for you to set up the trigger:
    1. Setup tab
      1. Google account: Select the Google account you want to use within this node. If you have not connected to a Google account for your Google Sheets integration, you can refer to the Connect to your Google Sheets integration Help Center article
      2. Google Sheet: Once you have selected the Google account, the “Google Sheet” field will appear. Select the Google Sheet that you want to set the trigger with.
      3. Sheet: If the selected Google Sheet contains multiple worksheets (tabs), you will also need to select the specific sheet (e.g. “10% off”) that should trigger the flow when a new row is added.

    2. Filter tab
      1. Enrollment conditions: When toggled on, you can set specific conditions at the “Filter” tab that the customer must meet in order to be enrolled into the flow. For example: 
        1. Payment status changes to “Paid” — only rows updated with this value will be enrolled into the flow.
