Google Sheet: Only trigger on cell value Yes
Status: Closed · Asked by Tako on · 0 views
Hello Pabbly team and community:
How can I trigger an action only when a certain word or selection is made on a Google sheets cell?
For instance, I want to trigger an action only if a cell has the word "Yes". Right now from what I understand, an action is triggered when a certain column has any changes. I want to limit the trigger to only happen when I "approve" or select "yes".
Thanks
Hey @Tako

You can use the Filter action step once in your workflow after the trigger event which will only process the workflow when it gets the desired value Yes in the respective column.
I know you can use filters but it's not working for me. Can filters be used with Google Sheets "Dropdown" or "checkbox" selections? I think you can but it's not working. Please see the attached screen shot of a simple filter test I did.
Hey @Tako
Could you please share the name of the workflow in which you have tried the same, further as we can see from your account's latest task history we can see that everything is working fine?
please close this question, I figured it out. I had to wait a bit for google sheets and pabbly to reload the new contnet.
