FAQ

Questions about Clear Values.

What does the Clear Values action do in Google Sheets?
Clears all values from a range in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. Formatting and validation rules are preserved; only the cell values are removed.
What inputs does Clear Values require?
Required: Spreadsheet ID, Range. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Google Sheets returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Clear Values support batch operations?
Yes. Run Clear Values inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Google Sheets's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
