Multiple Active Workflows for Different Google Sheet Tabs

Hi Pabbly Support,

I have one active workflow connected to one Google Sheet tab. I want to create another workflow for a different tab within the same Google Spreadsheet.

However, whenever I try to set up the second workflow for the other tab, my existing active workflow gets stopped/deactivated.

Is it possible to have multiple active Pabbly workflows connected to different tabs of the same Google Spreadsheet at the same time?

If yes, please let me know how I can set this up without affecting the existing active workflow.

Thank you.

Hi Nitin,

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, it is possible to have multiple active Pabbly Connect workflows connected to different tabs (sheets) within the same Google Spreadsheet. Each individual sheet (tab) inside a single Google Spreadsheet has its own separate Initial Setup under the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension.

Here is how to set it up correctly:

1. Open your Google Spreadsheet and navigate to the specific tab you want to connect.
2. Go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.
3. Paste the webhook URL that corresponds to the workflow for that particular tab and save it.
4. Repeat this for each tab, making sure each tab uses its own separate webhook URL from its own workflow.

Please make sure each tab is configured independently with its own Initial Setup and its own webhook URL, rather than reusing the same setup. This should allow both workflows to remain active without one deactivating the other.

If the issue persists after this, please share a screen recording so we can investigate further.

Hi Nitin,

You do not need to create multiple separate workflows for different tabs, as it can exhaust your tasks quickly. You can easily manage this within a single workflow using Routers or Filters.

Here is how you can set it up:

1. In your Google Sheets trigger step, make sure you select the Spreadsheet. By default, Pabbly/Make fetches data from the active or specified sheet.

2. Immediately after the Google Sheets trigger, add a Router or Filter module.

3. Set the filter condition based on the Sheet Name or Spreadsheet Name variable. For example: If Sheet Name equals Tab1, then proceed to Route A. If Sheet Name equals Tab2, then proceed to Route B.

This way, a single webhook or trigger will handle all your tabs dynamically without any conflict.

If you are finding it difficult to set up the router logic or need help with the exact variable mapping, just let me know. I can quickly jump on a brief call or guide you here to set it up perfectly!
