How It Works​

The Switch Sheet node changes the active sheet within a Google Spreadsheet context. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates all input parameters
  2. Connects to the Google Spreadsheet using the provided ID
  3. Verifies that the specified sheet exists in the spreadsheet
  4. Gets the sheet ID for the target sheet
  5. Updates the spreadsheet context to use the specified sheet as active
  6. Returns any errors encountered during the process

Requirements​

  • A valid Google Spreadsheet ID
  • A valid sheet name that exists in the spreadsheet
  • Proper Google Sheets API authentication and permissions

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Spreadsheet Id
  • Empty or invalid Sheet Name
  • Sheet with the specified name does not exist
  • Google Sheets API authentication or permission errors
  • Network or connectivity issues with Google Sheets API

Usage Notes​

  • The Spreadsheet Id can be obtained from the URL of your Google Spreadsheet or from the Open Spreadsheet node
  • The Sheet Name must exactly match an existing sheet in the spreadsheet
  • This node does not modify the spreadsheet structure or data
  • Subsequent Google Sheets nodes in the workflow will operate on the switched-to sheet
  • Ensure your Google account has proper permissions to access the target spreadsheet
