Google Sheets node suddenly stopped writing rows (no errors, node shows success)

My Google Sheets integration suddenly stopped working.

  • The Google Sheets node executes successfully

  • The output contains the correct data

  • The sheet remains unchanged — no new rows, no updates

  • No error message is shown

This was working earlier today with the exact same sheet and credentials.

What I already checked

✓ The service account still has Editor access to the Google Sheet
✓ The sheet headers exist and match the mapped fields
✓ Tried Append Row and Append or Update
✓ Tried different “Column to match on”
✓ Deleted the node and recreated it
✓ Created a new minimal workflow with only 2 nodes
✓ Created a new sheet → still doesn’t write
✓ Credentials test successfully inside n8n

No matter what I try, the sheet stays empty.

Environment

n8n (Docker)

Google Sheets (Service Account)

Sheet is shared properly

Minimal test workflow

Node output looks correct:

{
  "snapshot_time": "test-1",
  "chain_id": "solana",
  "address": "TEST"
}

But the sheet stays empty.

Question

Why did my Google Sheets node suddenly stop writing rows even though it was working perfectly earlier today?
I only changed some filtering logic in an unrelated Code node (nothing touching the Sheets node or its credentials), and after that the Sheets node stopped writing completely, even if I revert the Code node to its original version. The node still executes successfully and shows the correct output, but no data is ever written to the sheet (even in a minimal 2-node test workflow and even with a new sheet).

What could cause this , and how can I fix it?

Hi @Bro_Ski
Could you try again with the latest version? Google Sheets node version 4.7 (Latest)

I can see from the workflow that it’s not loading :

      "typeVersion": 4,

Also, what’s your n8n version? It’s best to upgrade to the latest release..

Hi Mohamed, thanks for checking.

I verified both points:

  • n8n version: 1.123.5

  • Google Sheets node: v4.7 (latest)

The issue still occurs: the node executes successfully and shows correct output, but no rows are written.. Given this, what else could cause the Sheets node to silently not write data?
