    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.
