Q: Hey Kyle, I'm having issues dumping a scraped list of data into a Google Sheet.
I can't see any documentation that refers to what the headers in the sheet need to be etc. Do you have any documentation that can help?

May 15, 2024A: great question!!! And sorry for the lag - the headers just need to exist. I added this as a callout to the doc here: https://help.taskmagic.com/help-center/s5FiF82Lv6xeJADe7k8pss/exporting-data-to-google-sheets/w6Ci6z9VMcx2aQ7Rq4WHna
tom895PLUSSame!!
Thanks tom - here is an article: let me know if this helps we added a callout for headers (they only need to EXIST, they dont need to be specific) https://help.taskmagic.com/help-center/s5FiF82Lv6xeJADe7k8pss/exporting-data-to-google-sheets/w6Ci6z9VMcx2aQ7Rq4WHna
Streetsahead88Thanks Jeremy, appreciate the reply and updated docs. I guess the headers are mainly there for when fetching data from a Sheet
Kyle_TaskMagicCorrect - headers are there when fetching data from a sheet allowing you to use that in your automation. Here is an example of how I set up automated instagram dms.
I have a google sheet with a column of usernames, the header being `username`
go to instagram -> login -> go to message page -> type @username -> click message -> click send
This allows my automation to send any number of messages I specify everytime it runs.
Hope this clears up how headers benefit your automation and where you use them - lmk if theres anything else I can help answer here
