What to do When a Loop Trigger Says “Google Sheet is Out of Data”

Troubleshooting "Google Sheet is Out of Data" Loop Trigger Errors

Are you encountering an error message saying "Google Sheet is Out of Data" while working with automation triggers? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Let's dive into how you can effectively troubleshoot and resolve this issue to keep your workflow running smoothly.

Understanding the Error:

When you see the error indicating that your Google sheet is out of data, it is a signal to leverage the list trigger. This error typically occurs when the automation couldn't find any rows to process for the upcoming run. To address this, let's explore the steps you can take to rectify the situation.

Checking the Current Row:

By clicking on the edit option, you can identify the specific row that the automation is currently processing and how many rows it attempted to fetch. Make sure that the row in question contains the necessary data for the automation to proceed. If the data has run out, consider resetting the row count to an appropriate value, such as restarting from the beginning at row two.

Adjusting Sheet Connections:

In some cases, you may need to recalibrate your sheet connection by switching to a different worksheet within the Google Sheet. It's essential to manage the current row being processed to ensure the automation functions correctly without encountering data gaps.

Dealing with Data Unavailability:

Seeing the "Google Sheet is Out of Data" error implies that the specific row being searched for lacks the required information. This hinders the automation from utilizing the connected variables effectively. If you no longer require Google Sheet integration, you can simply deselect the option without worrying about maintaining the connection.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, troubleshooting the "Google Sheet is Out of Data" loop trigger error involves ensuring that the necessary data is available in the designated row and managing the sheet connections effectively. By following the steps outlined above, you can address this issue promptly and resume your automation tasks seamlessly.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

If we see an error that our Google sheet is out of data, then we are going to be using the list trigger. And it means that whatever rows we wanted to run with for the next run, there were none found. So if we click to edit this, we'll be able to see the row that it's currently running on and how many rows it tried to pull.

So what you need to do is make sure that your Google sheet has data at this row that you're trying to run. Or you need to edit this to reset it back to whatever the new row should be. So if this got up to 500 and now you're out of results, then maybe you need to set it back to two. Maybe you also need to change your sheet connection and change it to a different worksheet, but you will need to manage what row we are currently on.

If you're seeing that error, all that it means is, is that whatever row we were looking for had no data available. So your automation wouldn't have been able to use any of the variables you had connected. If you're not trying to use a Google sheet anymore, you can simply uncheck this box and you won't need to worry about that Google sheet connection.
