Adding/Updating Rows

Navigate to the 'Request' tab of the API call. After the last field value in the code, add a comma and type in the field value you would like to add to your Google Sheet. Press the 'Save' button in the bottom right corner.

In the example below, we added 5 more fields to the request, resulting in 15 fields added to the Google Sheet.

{
  "values": [
    ["{field1}", "{field2}", "{field3}", "{field4}","{field5}", "{field6}", "{field7}", "{field8}",
     "{field9}","{field10}", "{field11}", "{field12}" , "{field13}" , "{field14}" , "{field15}" ]
  ]
}

 

Be sure to edit the 'Parameters' Tab accordingly. If you add fields in the 'Request', add the fields in the 'Parameters' Tab.

Navigate to the 'Parameters' Tab. Click the 'Add New Parameter' button, and add the field name and slug according to the amount of values you added in the 'Request' Tab. Press the 'Save' button in the bottom right corner.

 
Deleting Rows

You can follow the same steps if you would like fewer fields than the default (10 fields) added to your Google Sheet. Navigate to the 'Request' tab of the API call. Delete the last field value in the code, including the comma before the field. Press the 'Save' button in the bottom right corner. Proceed according to how many fields you would like deleted from the request.
