Seems like I have the option to enter a table Id for lookup, but then I canβt select a column, so I get an error
It seems you're encountering an issue with the Google Sheets integration or the Lookup Rows action. Here's how to resolve it: 1. For Google Sheets: β’ Ensure you've selected the correct Google account. β’ After pasting the spreadsheet URL, specify the Sheet ID. β’ Then, you should be able to select the Lookup Column and Value. 2. For Lookup Rows: β’ Select the Table to Search. β’ Choose the Target Column. β’ Set the Filter Operator. β’ Enter the Row Value. If you're still unable to select a column, there might be a technical issue. In that case, click on "Talk to a person" to request human assistance for further troubleshooting.
This is not a Google sheets issue. This is a problem with Clay -> Lookup Single Row in Other Table
Hey Ken, thnks for getting in touch. Do you mind sending the link (url) to the table so we can take a look?
I tried to replicate in my test account, but selecting the table using its ID is working okay for me:
Curious to dig in and compare!
Hey Mark - this is when using a field, not from typing it manually. Idea being that I could use a field and have it look up against multiple tables based on difference criteria
Ah, thanks for that! I see what you're saying now. I wish this was supported today. When entering those tokens in column settings, Clay doesn't take the additional step to interpret/resolve them to e.g. a specific table ID value. If it did, I can see a further downstream challenge β understanding which columns to check in the destination tables, for each of the possible table values that token would represent. I can share internal product feedback for this. I'm curious β could you let me know any specific use cases or workflows or challenges, where these updates would be especially helpful for you? Just trying to keep a tidier table / reduce ~redundant columns? I'll relay this to our product owners. Any additional context is welcome, so we can keep your situation in mind as we build out the roadmap.
