How can I create new spreadsheet in Google Sheets from model ?

[Carlos Melo]

Hello guys,

I need to create a new spreadsheet from a pre-existing template.
It is possible ?
I only see the option to "create a spreadsheet" with the Google Sheet step in Pabbly, but I don't see the option to create from a template spreadsheet, as we can do with Google Docs, which allows us to create new documents from of a template document.

The "Create a spreadsheet" option doesn't suit me because I need a template with a predefined header, in which I would send the data that will come from the JotForm.
Or is there any way I can create the header in the new spreadsheet using this option ?

So I need some orientation about this, please.

Thanks,
Carlos Melo.

Hey @Carlos Melo

I am afraid that is not possible to create the sheet from a template or to add/update the columns.

@Supreme @Carlos Melo to update header row values after copying the file you can use Gsheet action - "Update Row Values"

Ok, this is the solution I got:

1. Email Parser: receives data from JotForm
2. Google Drive: copies the template file with the new name got in step 1.
3. Google Sheet > Add New Row: insert the file ID you got on step 2 by maping it in Select Spreadsheet field

4. Fill all columns with the data formatted in step 1.

Now every time a new form is submitted I get a new spreadsheet with the data allocated according to the header of the model worksheet.
