Sheets - Append task

Preview

This feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. Pre-GA features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

The Sheets - Append task lets you append data after a specified table of data in a Google spreadsheet. New values are appended to the new row that is created after the specified table, starting with the first column of the table.

Spreadsheet: The primary object in Google Sheets that can contain multiple sheets. Each sheet has structured information contained in cells.

You can find the ID of your spreadsheet from its web URL. For example, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/SPREADSHEET_ID/edit#gid=0

Google Sheets is one of the many cloud-based productivity solutions in Google Workspace. It allows you to create and edit online spreadsheets with real-time collaboration functionality.

Before you begin

Ensure that you perform the following tasks in your Google Cloud project before configuring the Sheets - Append task:

1. Enable the Google Sheets API (sheets.googleapis.com).

   Enable the Google Sheets API

2. Create an authentication profile. Application Integration uses an authentication profile to connect to an authentication endpoint for the Sheets - Append task.

   For information about granting additional roles or permissions to a service account, see Granting, changing, and revoking access.

3. Understand and learn about the common terminologies used in Google Sheet.

Configure the Sheets - Append task

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Application Integration page.

   Go to Application Integration

2. In the navigation menu, click Integrations.

   The Integrations page appears listing all the integrations available in the Google Cloud project.

3. Select an existing integration or click Create integration to create a new one.

   If you are creating a new integration:

   1. Enter a name and description in the Create Integration pane.
   2. Select a region for the integration.
      Note: The Regions dropdown only lists the regions provisioned in your Google Cloud project. To provision a new region, Click Enable Region. See Enable new region for more information.
   3. Select a service account for the integration. You can change or update the service account details of an integration any time from the Integration summary pane in the integration toolbar.
      Note: The option to select a service account is displayed only if you have enabled integration governance for the selected region.
   4. Click Create.

   This opens the integration in the integration editor.

4. In the integration editor navigation bar, click Tasks to view the list of available tasks.
5. Click and place the Sheets - Append element in the integration editor.
6. Click the Sheets - Append element on the designer to view the Sheets - Append task configuration pane.
7. Go to Authentication, and select an existing authentication profile that you want to use.

   Optional. If you have not created an authentication profile prior to configuring the task, Click + New authentication profile and follow the steps as mentioned in Create a new authentication profile.

8. Go to Task Input, and configure the displayed inputs fields using the following Task input parameters table.

   Changes to the inputs fields are saved automatically.

Task input parameters

The following table describes the input parameters of the Sheets - Append task:

Property	Data type	Description
SpreadsheetId	String	The ID of your spreadsheet. You can find the ID of your spreadsheet from its web URL. For example, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/SPREADSHEET_ID/edit#gid=0
Range	String	The A1 notation of a range to search for the desired table in the sheet.
IncludeValuesInResponse	Boolean	Indicates if the returned object should include the values of the cells that were appended values.
InsertDataOption	enum (InsertDataOption)	Indicates how the existing data will be changed when the new data is appended.
ValueInputOption	enum (ValueInputOption)	Indicates how the data is interpreted. Default value: INPUT_VALUE_OPTION_UNSPECIFIED
ResponseDateTimeRenderOption	enum (DateTimeRenderOption)	Indicates how values related to date, time, and duration is represented in the output. Note: dateTimeRenderOption is not considered if the value specified for valueRenderOption is FORMATTED_VALUE. Default value: SERIAL_NUMBER
ResponseValueRenderOption	enum (ValueRenderOption)	Indicates how the retrieved values are represented in the output. Default value: FORMATTED_VALUE
Request	JSON	The request body is a ValueRange object that describes range values to write. See request JSON structure.

Task output

The Sheets - Append task returns the response output containing a AppendValuesResponse object, similar to the following sample output:

    {
        "spreadsheetId": SPREADSHEET_ID,
        "tableRange": "Sheet1!A1:D2",
        "updates": {
          "spreadsheetId": SPREADSHEET_ID,
          "updatedRange": "Sheet1!A3:D4",
          "updatedRows": 2,
          "updatedColumns": 4,
          "updatedCells": 8,
        }
      }

Error handling strategy

An error handling strategy for a task specifies the action to take if the task fails due to a temporary error. For information about how to use an error handling strategy, and to know about the different types of error handling strategies, see Error handling strategies.
