Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

The dropdown menu is the easiest way to configure the tool step. You can select the Drive, Spreadsheet and Worksheet from a list of options via the dropdown menu.The input variables offer more flexibility e.g. you can use the same tool step for multiple Google Sheets, however you will need to manually provide the necessary Google Sheet IDs.
If you are using the tool in an agent, this is the recommended approach. You can use the dropdown menu to select the Drive, Spreadsheet and Worksheet that don’t need to change, and then use the green input variables for “Column Letter” and “Value” to allow the agent to dynamically search for different values in your Google sheet.
If you are only using the input variables, you will need to provide the necessary Google Sheet IDs for the tool step to function properly.
