  • 3 minutes to read

Operation Information

Appends a Google Sheets spreadsheet with a new row.

API Documentation: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/append.

This is a Free Tier Integration.

Authentication

This operation requires authentication, the details of which can be securely stored on your instance in a KeySafe Key of type Google Drive.

To create a key of this type:

  • In the Configuration area of your Hornbill instance, navigate to Platform Configuration > Security > KeySafe;
  • Click on the + Create New Key button;
  • On the resulting Create New Key form, choose Google Drive in the Type pick list;
  • Give the Google Drive KeySafe key a Title (this is the name / identifier for the Google Drive account as you will see it when using the cloud automation node in your workflows);
  • Optionally populate the Description field;
  • Click the Create Key button to create your new key;
  • Once the Key is created, you will need to connect to the target service, and your account, in order to authorize the connector app access to the listed operations. Click the Connect button and you will be redirected to the service provider in a popup window;
  • Log in to your account, and then you will be prompted to review the options you are authorizing the Hornbill connector to be allowed to perform using the chosen account;
  • Accept the review and you will be returned to your KeySafe key.

Tip

If you have revoked your Google KeySafe Token with the Revoke Access button, before you can reconnect Hornbill to your Google account you will need to log in to your Google account and remove Hornbill from the list of third-party apps with account access.

If this is not performed prior to reconnecting your account, then Hornbill will only be able to access the account for up to 1 hour before the access token is expired.

Revoking Access

If at any point you wish to revoke access to any of the above accounts from your Hornbill instance, just hit the Revoke button in the relevant KeySafe key(s).

Warning

This will revoke the rights of any existing Cloud Automation Node in your Hornbill Workflows that are using the revoked Google Drive account, so you will need to manage these workflows accordingly.
