Sheets - Append task

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.

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.
