I’ve tried to revoke credentials and then add that back again. Deleting the node and readding it.
I’ve also followed the suggestions from Gummy. My main objective is to avoid having to create column names as the competitor names can be dynamic.

Hey @sethiad! 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 @sethiad – Looks like you’re passing data into the `Create new Sheet` input, but that’s just a parameter on the node. If you click on **“Show more options,”** you’ll see the `Create New Sheet` toggle—it works the same way if you expose it as an input and want to toggle it dynamically. You can’t pass data into that input.
For Google Sheet nodes, headers need to be in the first row for them to be detected properly. Once those are set, you can map your data to them. The `Create New Sheet` option follows the same schema and generates a new spreadsheet using those headers. That means dynamic headers aren’t supported at the moment. I’d recommend using generic, static column names like **competitor name, data,** etc.

Thanks @Wasay-Gumloop, I was struggling with this for a while.
I’ll try to use the generic column names for now and see if it’s supported in the future 🙂
