titleImpact on Migration of API from v3 to v4:

Enhances the Google Spreadsheet Snap Pack by migrating from v3 to v4 API as Google announces sunsetting the v3 API on June 8, 2021. For more information, see Migrating Google Spreadsheet Sheets Pipelines from V3 to V4.

Prerequisites

A valid Google Spreadsheet account. 

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines.

Limitations

  • If the spreadsheet or worksheet that you want to read contains one or more leading or trailing spaces, the Worksheet Reader Snap throws an error.
    Workaround: Enclose the names of the spreadsheet and worksheet in quotes (") and enable expressions for both Spreadsheet and Worksheet fields. For example, "Sheet 1."
  • If you select Preserve Data Types and name the worksheet similar to the Google spreadsheet column-row range; for example, AB123, then you may receive a bad request error.
