How we update the ROW, while we taking follow up with the customer.
Dear Members,
I want to take a moment , I have built a flow. After 18 hours, I send a message to the customer to check if their query has been resolved or not. However, I want to save the response in the same row, but it is actually being saved in a new row.
Please help with this.

Hi, @KIA Motors!
You need to use the update feature of the Google Sheets integration.
And for that, you also need to create a custom field that receives a custom and unique code to be the identifier for that specific query.
For example, you can use the Contact ID + incremental number.
- The contact ID you get via system variable
- The incremental number you can obtain creating a Bot Number Field and adding 1 to it in an Action Step, so every new interaction creates a unique ID.
Hope this helps!

Sure!
You will need to create:
1 User Field (Text)
1 Bot Field (Number) = Set the default value to 1
(To create them, go to Settings/ Fields)
Important Info to know:
Bot field is at the account level. If it gets changed, the new value applies to every contact.
User field is at the contact level. Each contact can have different values in it.
In your flow, create an Action Step and add two actions:
Contact data/ Set User Field
Select your Text User Field (TEXT_FIELD in my example) and set the value to “Contact Id”-"Your Number Bot Field”
To select this variables, click on the "{.}” icon
Systems Fields/ Contact Id
Custom Bot Field/ Your Bot Field
This will create a unique ID for this automation run. In example: “123456-1”
Automation/ Set Bot Field
Select your Number Bot Field (NUM_BOT_FIELD in my example), set the operation to "Increase the number by” and set the value to 1.
This will add 1 to the bot field every time someone passes by this step.
Now, in your Google Sheets, create a new column for this ID and save your Custom User Field to it. When the contact responds, update your spreadsheet using the ID as Lookup Value.
