How to get Domain, Sheet Id, Collect only last N rows

(Optional) Enter the Sheet Id of your spreadsheet if you need to use a specific one
(Optional) Enabling More Settings? it is possible to insert the value for the field Collect only last N rows which allow collecting only the last N rows of the Sheet. This option is useful with very large Sheets because due to some API limits, the integration can't retrieve all the data.

How to get Allow Duplicates

Using the Allow Duplicates option, you may choose if you want to send duplicate leads in your Google Sheets when using it as a Destination integration.

If you want to avoid duplicates when sending leads to Google Sheets, you can disable the Allow Duplicates toggle from the Google Sheets integration settings.

Please note that this option works only if there's an Email column inside your Google sheet.

If the Allow Duplicates toggle is enabled, LeadsBridge will search for the exact same email address that already exists in your Google Sheets and then it will update it. If there's no match, a new row will be created.
