How to build it

Trigger: Order created

Conditions

  • None

Actions

  1. Add row to spreadsheet: Spreadsheet URL, Tab name, Row = {{order.name}},{{order.createdAt}},{{order.totalPriceSet.shopMoney.amount}},{{order.customer.email}}

Commas inside values split columns, so wrap free-text fields with | replace: ",", " ". Use a For each loop to write one row per line item.
