The Technical Power Behind Spreadsheet Automation

The Google Sheets Trigger node continuously monitors your selected spreadsheets for specific changes:

1. Set Up: Connect to your Google account and select the spreadsheet and worksheet you want to monitor
2. Configure: Choose your trigger conditions - new rows added, rows updated, or specific cell changes
3. Customize: Define how frequently to check for changes (polling interval)
4. Connect: Link the trigger to subsequent workflow actions in n8n's visual builder

When the specified changes occur, the node automatically activates your workflow, passing the spreadsheet data to subsequent nodes for processing, analysis, notifications, or integration with other systems—all without any manual intervention.
