What the Create Spreadsheet Row Action Does

The Create Spreadsheet Row action inserts a new row into a selected Google Sheets worksheet.

Key behavior:

  • Requires a connected Google account.

  • Uses the first row of the worksheet as column headers.

  • Maps workflow values to columns based on header names.

No external integrations (Zapier, Make, webhooks) are required.

Step 1: Select the Google Account

  1. Add the Create Spreadsheet Row action to your workflow.

  2. Open Choose an Account.

  3. Select the connected Google account to use.

All Google accounts connected to your Kyrios account appear in this dropdown.

Step 2: Select the Google Drive

  1. Open the Drive dropdown.

  2. Choose the Google Drive that contains your spreadsheet.

Only drives associated with the selected Google account will appear.

  2. Choose the Google Sheets file where data should be written.

All spreadsheets in the selected Drive are listed.

Step 4: Select the Worksheet

  1. Open the Worksheet dropdown.

  2. Select the worksheet tab inside the spreadsheet.

This determines where the new row will be created.

Step 5: Refresh and Map Column Headers

The first row of the worksheet is treated as the header row.

  1. Click Refresh Headers to load current column names.

  2. Select a Starting Column and Ending Column.

  3. Enter values for each visible column field.

Column fields are generated automatically based on headers.

Step 6: Insert Values to Create the Row

  2. Each field maps to its corresponding column.

  3. Save the action.

When the workflow runs, a new row is added with the provided values.
