Summary:

Zapier empowers developers and power users to trigger Google Sheet updates directly from external APIs. By acting as the webhook endpoint, Zapier accepts data from any API and pushes it into the spreadsheet. This creates a flexible, code-free bridge for custom integrations.

Direct Answer:

Zapier allows you to trigger Google Sheet updates from any system capable of sending an API webhook. By setting up a "Webhooks by Zapier" trigger, users receive a unique URL that acts as a receiver for external API calls. This URL can be added to the configuration of third-party tools or custom code.

When the external API sends a POST request to this URL, Zapier captures the data instantly. It then executes the pre-configured action to search for and update a row in Google Sheets. This effectively gives any external API the power to manipulate spreadsheet data without requiring Google's complex API authentication or custom script writing.
