💡

Handy to know: It’s worth noting that Spreadsheet ID', Sheet ID' & Sheet Names are referenced throughout this plugin and they stand for different things. eg. A spreadsheet has an ID like so,_ 1PciD2dkT3IJTuIJ0484XjdoalxBfSXStkL3sFpIYj4QT, each sheet inside the spreadsheet also has an id. This ID ranges in its value but usually the default first page in the spreadsheet will have the number 0 as its ID. Common ID's after the initial sheet will often look like this, 241376695. The other identifiable property is a sheets name, this can be the title you assigned it or something like this, Sheet0. Keep in mind that some action's require one of these or a mix of these.
