Select App Action Event

If you select Google Sheets for the action, as we did, you will see the available events that can be performed. For example, when you click on Google Sheets, the available event is “Add Row.” This means that whenever the trigger event runs, a row of your data will be added to Google Sheets.

An app can have multiple trigger or action events. You need to select the app and event based on your requirements.

After connecting with Google Sheets, you will need to select your spreadsheet. If you have multiple spreadsheets, choose the one you want to use for this action.

Get started with Bit Flows - Select Your Spreadsheet

After selecting your spreadsheet, you will need to choose a specific sheet within it. Since a spreadsheet can contain multiple sheets, pick the one you want to use for this action. Here, we have two sheets available, and we will select the “arouf.towpSite” sheet.

Get started with Bit Flows - Choose your Sheet

After choosing your sheet, you need to map the trigger fields with the action fields, which in this case is Google Sheets. To map your fields, click on the Add Row button. You will then see two fields: Column and Value.

  • For Column, select the column from your chosen spreadsheet.
  • For Value, map it to the corresponding trigger response field, which in this case is WordPress On Post Status Update event. Additionally, you can use options like FlowMathString, or System for custom values or calculations.

For more guidance, follow the demo video below.
