# Google Sheets Trigger - Workflow trigger | Docs - nodulz

Source: https://nodulz.com/docs/nodes/google_sheets_trigger

Language: en

The trigger polls a spreadsheet. Select the event, sheet name and interval; this is not a Google webhook.

## Usage and specifics

The trigger polls a spreadsheet. Select the event, sheet name and interval; this is not a Google webhook.

Technical type : `google_sheets_trigger`. Runtime : `nodulz`.

## Credentials and prerequisites

- [Create and configure the credential : google-sheets](/docs/credentials/google-sheets)

Create credentials in your nodulz instance’s Credentials area, then select them on the node. Availability depends on ownership and sharing. See the [credentials guide](/docs/credentials) for access and rotation.

## Parameters

Names below are technical keys. Defaults are not a ready-to-run configuration: complete fields required by your operation. Paths containing [] describe list items; some fields depend on the selected mode.

| Parameter | Type | Default | Values / limits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `credentialId` | `string` | `""` | - |
| `spreadsheetId` | `string` | `""` | - |
| `sheetName` | `string` | `"Sheet1"` | - |
| `event` | `enum` | `"row_added"` | `row_added`, `row_updated`, `row_added_or_updated` |
| `pollInterval` | `string` | `"1m"` | - |
| `pollState` | `object` | - | - |
| `pollState.rows` | `record` | `{}` | - |

## Configuration help

| Setting | Purpose and guidance |
| --- | --- |
| `credentialId`<br>Google Sheets credential | Google service account. Share the spreadsheet with its email and enable Sheets and Drive APIs. |
| `event`<br>Event | Detected on each poll; first read establishes the baseline. |
| `spreadsheetId`<br>Spreadsheet ID | ID in the Google spreadsheet URL. |
| `sheetName`<br>Sheet | Exact tab name. |
| `pollInterval`<br>Interval | Check frequency, such as 1m or 5m. |

## Initial configuration

Initial catalog configuration example, to adapt before running. Keep secrets in credentials.

```json
{
  "credentialId": "",
  "spreadsheetId": "",
  "sheetName": "Sheet1",
  "event": "row_added",
  "pollInterval": "1m"
}
```

## Verification

Test with representative data. Check node output in the inspector and logs, then use editor mapping for downstream fields. A trigger test with a simulated payload does not validate external service delivery.
