** Updated original request by Team for overlapping functionality in progress **

The Apps builder is being directly integrated inside the recorded automations which will allow you to for example have an automation like this

1. Go to page
2. scrape text
3. airtable action > create new record
4. go to page
...

This allows you to benefit from the ease of APIs in certain situations while easily being able to record other situations APIs can't offer / are too complex etc.

With this functionality you can add a google sheets step and update/find/add/delete rows as you please

** Original Request **
For a use case where I'm using Frontly.ai to build apps atop of Google sheet, I really do need to be able to select the destination columns when I send the results of my workflow to a Google Sheet.
Indeed, using Frontly.ai, the first column (A) of any sheet within my spreadsheet is an internal ID that must not be changed or set - up to Frontly.ai to manage these IDs as soon as new record (from column B) are created.

Is there a way to be able to select the column (A, B, C, ...) to be used for each step data sent to the Google Sheet ?

That would be awesome, and life-saver ! :)

Thanks for your understanding guys !

This would be very powerful. Will the apps builder all run locally?
