Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the 'type' field when inserting data into Google Sheets from Botize?
When you add a new row to a spreadsheet from Botize, you can specify not only the value to be inserted into each cell, but also the data type of that cell.
This is very useful because Google Sheets interprets text, numbers, formulas, and dates differently. For example:
- If you enter a formula but don't mark the type as 'Formula', the cell will display the formula text (e.g., `=NOW()`) as plain text instead of executing it.
- If you send a date and time value but only want the date to appear in the sheet, you can choose a type like `Date DD-MM-YYYY` to display it in the desired format.
- If you have a timestamp (like `1713259854`), you can convert it into a human-readable date format by selecting a type like `Timestamp DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM`.
This field gives you full control over how each piece of data will be displayed in the spreadsheet, helping you avoid formatting issues or misinterpretations.
Common Errors
There's no data to add
Values, column names, or both have not been specified to save the information in the Google Sheets spreadsheet. Make sure to provide both the values and the necessary column names to complete the operation.
FAILED_PRECONDITION - This operation is not supported for this document
This error usually means that the file you're using is not in Google Sheets format, but instead saved as an XLSX (Excel) file.
To fix it, simply open the document in Google Drive and choose File > Save as Google Sheets. Once the file is in the correct format, Botize will be able to access it and run the automation properly.
