One Google Sheet Has Priority Over Another One

How To
1

Hello All, I’m trying to automate my blogs and have done it with no issue but I want to add a 2nd sheet that has priority over the main 30 day content calendar sheet.

I have:
1 Google sheet file with 2 tabs.
1 tab is Blogs
2nd tab called Priority

I want to be able to have 30 days of blog ideas in the blogs tab and nothing in the priority tab, but if one day I have a great idea or need to toss in a new blog idea for an out of round blog i want to put that info into the priority tab.

The next morning at 9:05 when the trigger pops it will check for a new row in the priority tab if nothing is in there it will move on to the blog tab and grab the next row that has not been used yet and pull that data to write the blog.

if there is something in the priority tab it will process that one for today and not pull any from the daily blog tab. Also I don’t want to have to erase whats in there I want the automation to know the last time it foudn someting in the priority tab it was on row 2 and now if there is something in row 3 that is new nad pull that for todays blog other wise if nothing new in the priority tab only the item in row two which it ran yesterday it will go grab another one from the blogs tab for today’s blog.

I have it running now with just the blog tab and that works well but is a pain in the but to figure out where it left off yesterday to add a row and put in a priority item for tomorrow. I just want to toss the new priority item in the bottom or first empty row and i’m out of there.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Welcome to the Make community!

You have not yet provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any error(s).

To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. Relevant Screenshots

Could you please share screenshots of your full scenario? Also include screenshots of any error messages, module settings (fields), relevant filter settings (conditions), and module output bundles. We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and prevent tracking cookies from third-party websites.

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!

To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
