I am getting the following error even though I have given editor permission on my google sheet.

Hey @Parag! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the **run link** and make sure it’s **shareable** so we can take a look.

1. **Find your run link** on the history page. Format: `https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={your_run_id}&workbook_id={workbook_id}`

2. **Make it shareable** by clicking **“Share”** → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

3. **Provide details** about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: [https://www.gumloop.com/history](https://www.gumloop.com/history)

Hey @Parag - The Extract to Table node uses [OpenAI’s structured JSON](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs) output to extract data which seemed to have timed out here. I’d recommend using an `Extract Data` node and then connecting the data fields with the `Google Sheet Writer` node. The Extract Data node allows you add specific prompts for each data field and you can play around with different AI models.

Here’s a guided tutorial on `Extract Data` + `Google Sheet Writer` node: [https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook\_id=dthCiSMZQ4XSfKe5CtHNBX&tutorial=true&guided\_tutorial\_id=web\_scraping](https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=dthCiSMZQ4XSfKe5CtHNBX&tutorial=true&guided_tutorial_id=web_scraping)

I’d also recommend looking into subflows to make your flow clean and more manageable.

Let me know if this works for you.
