Append and Adjust Berlin Rent in Google Sheets
Append an example property and increase rent for matching Berlin rows.
Download workflow
Append an example property and increase rent for matching Berlin rows.
Setup
Create a Google Sheet whose first worksheet has the unique headers ID, Name, Rent and City in columns A:D. Rent must be numeric. Connect Google Sheets with edit permission. In Open Flow enter the spreadsheet ID when starting. In n8n configure the spreadsheet in Google Sheets and connect the same credential to each Google Sheets or HTTP node.
Behavior
A run appends an example Berlin property with an integer ID, then adds 100 to the rent of every Berlin row and reads the updated sheet. Open Flow returns formatted cell values. Duplicate matching IDs or nonnumeric rents stop the update. An earlier append or update may already have succeeded. Keep the sheet stable while the run is active. Check the sheet before retrying an uncertain write.

Changes to the source
- Use a numeric starting rent and replace the private spreadsheet ID with configuration. Both formats update only Rent cells so unrelated values and formulas are preserved. Both formats submit the matching cells in one batch.
