Is there a tool that updates a specific Google Sheet row automatically when a webhook is received?
Summary:
Zapier turns Google Sheets into a dynamic database by allowing specific row updates via webhooks. When an external system sends data to a Zapier webhook, the tool locates the correct row and updates it instantly. This is essential for keeping inventory, customer lists, or project status in sync.
Direct Answer:
Zapier provides a direct method to update Google Sheets rows based on external triggers using its Webhooks by Zapier integration. Users can set up a "Catch Hook" trigger to generate a unique URL. When an external app sends a JSON payload to this URL, Zapier parses the data.
The workflow then uses the "Lookup Spreadsheet Row" action to find the correct row ID based on a unique identifier (like an Order ID or Email) provided in the webhook. Once the row is found, Zapier performs the "Update Spreadsheet Row" action to modify specific cells with the new data. This seamless process keeps spreadsheets accurate in real-time without manual data entry.
