Persistent issue of data not being appended/updated in groups of cells for google sheets

I have my workflow append the final info into google sheets. It work most of the time, but sometimes the info just won’t append/update on the google sheets cell. This is a persistent issue over a large dataset of items (tens of thousands) with probably 1/20th of that having this issue. So it’s a significant problem. The actual issue seems to occur for a number of cells (10-20ish) then resolves itself. It also appears to randomly just happen at any given moment as I have some cells that remain blank as just one offs.

There’s no error message, flow works fine otherwise. This has been an issue since version 1.12.

Workflow JSON:

I get character capped when I try to paste my node. It also does not accept the standard downloaded JSON file? what’s up with that. Here’s a screenshot at least of the node, and the missing output. You can see that it just seems to not work for a number of rows then picks backup.


Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: newest
  • Database (default: SQLite): SQlite
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): defualt
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker (Oracle, Cloudflare, Coolfiy with SSH)
  • Operating system: Windows 10

Are you updating/appending in batches or one by one?

Maybe you hit some API limits on ggl.

Can you share an image with the nodes or json?

One by one. I’m not at my computer rn but I’ll send tomorrow.

however, I tentatively might’ve found the issue… I need to test. But I noticed I do have duplicate leads, so I’m thinking maybe it doesn’t know where to append since there’s multiple rows with the same data. Only a thought I just noticed but that might be it.

so I’ll build a quick deduper with the http, or maybe instead of using the native ggl sheets node I can just use http to program it a bit more in depth .
