AppSheet Intelligent Query Orchestrator

A friendly, practical tool that makes working with AppSheet data simpler and more efficient. This workflow is your go-to helper for building precise queries without getting lost in a sea of different tables.

Background

Previously, I built a community node to enable this functionality: Appsheet n8n Community node

How It Works

This workflow fetches the most up-to-date schema and taxonomy from your Google Sheet mirror and constructs a custom query using key components:

• TableName : Specifies exactly which table to query.
• Selector : Uses powerful functions like SELECT(), FILTER(), and CONTAINS() to filter data with precision.
• Columns Required : Extracts only the essential fields, keeping the payload lean and focused.
• Natural Language Search Query : Provides a clear, descriptive context that helps refine and re-rank results.
