FAQ

Questions about OpenAI + Google Sheets.

How do I run GPT on every new Sheet row?

Sheets New Row trigger → OpenAI Chat Completion with prompt referencing row columns → Sheets Update Values to write the response into a target column. 3-8 seconds end-to-end per row.

Can I batch-process a Sheet of rows through GPT?

Yes. Scheduled: Get Values for the range, iterate rows with empty result columns, call OpenAI per row, write results back. For huge sheets, use OpenAI Batch API (50% off, 24h SLA).

How do I keep GPT outputs structured for clean cell mapping?

Use OpenAI's response_format = { type: "json_schema", schema: { ... } } to force JSON matching your column shape. Each JSON property → one cell update. No regex parsing needed.

Can I use GPT as a smart formula replacement?

Yes — for tasks formulas can't express: classify a long-text answer, extract a price from a description, summarize a paragraph. GPT shines where pattern-matching is fuzzy and rules-based formulas break.

How do I cost-control GPT on Sheets automation?

Default to gpt-4o-mini for classification (very cheap). gpt-4o for nuanced enrichment. Cap max_tokens. Track per-row cost via the response usage field for visibility.

Can I run GPT on edits, not just new rows?

Yes. Sheets Row Updated trigger fires on edits. Filter by specific column change (e.g., only re-run when "Source Text" cell changes). Recompute only what needs it.
