[Google Drive - Insert row] does not work as expected

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

I'm exploring our Cloud Driver's compatibility with Microsoft Flow and things seem promising so far. However, there appears to be an issue with the [Google Drive - Insert row] action. When using [Excel - Insert row], I have the option of mapping the outputs from the previous action to the columns in the noted table in the Excel sheet:
Excel - Insert rowExcel - Insert row

Unfortunately, I don't have the same option when attempting the [Google Drive - Insert row] action. Is this a bug, or should I be doing something different when trying to insert a row into an Google Spreadsheet?

     I also would have expected them to have similar behavior. @SameerCh, is this a known limitation with the Google Drive connector?

    No, it should work the same way (see below).  If you sheet is empty, however, nothing will be shown.  The connector assumes the first row as the column headers.

    Thanks for the clarification. I didn't have any labels in the first row, so the Google Drive connector was unable to interpret and columns.
