How do I clear a range in Google Sheets?

Short answer: You can clear values in Google Sheets by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Sheets Clear Values action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Google Sheets returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Clear Values support batch operations?
Run Clear Values inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Google Sheets's rate limits.
