All trigger nodes require setting up in a node form, where you can further specify the parameters for a flow to be triggered. In this article, we will guide you on how to set up Google Sheets trigger nodes so you can initiate your flows based on expected circumstances.
Before setting up your “Google Sheets” trigger nodes, ensure that you have already integrated your Google Sheets account with SleekFlow. You can follow the steps in this Help Center article to complete the connection.
