Using in an Agent

There are 3 ways to configure the tool step when using in an agent

Using dropdown menus

This is the easiest way to configure the tool step. You can select the Drive and Spreadsheet from a list of options via the dropdown menu.

Using input variables

This option offers the most flexibility - you can use the same tool step for creating multiple worksheets, however you will need to manually provide the necessary Google Sheet IDs.

Mix of dropdown menus and input variables

This option offers the best of both worlds. You can use the dropdown menu to select the Drive and Spreadsheet, and then use an input variable for “Title” to allow the agent to dynamically pick a name for the new worksheet.

Parameters

Drive · string

The Drive you want to use. By default, the tool uses “My Drive”.

Spreadsheet ID · string

The ID of the spreadsheet you want to create the worksheet in.

Title · string · required

The title of the new worksheet you want to create.

Can I use a mix of both dropdown menu and green input variables?
