This workflow is designed to prevent Google Sheets API quota errors during large batch updates. When updating many rows in a Google Sheet, requests can trigger ‘too many requests’ errors due to API rate limits. The workflow employs a retry mechanism with timed delays to handle these quota restrictions gracefully.

Here’s how it works: The process is triggered manually, and it starts by reading rows from the Google Sheet that are marked with ‘READY’ status. For each row, it updates specific fields such as ‘Color’ and ‘Status’ using the Google Sheets node set to update operation mode. After processing each row, it waits for a predetermined period (e.g., 1 minute) before proceeding to the next to avoid exceeding API quotas.

The workflow includes error handling where node errors are captured, and the process retries after waiting, ensuring robust handling of rate limits. This approach is highly useful for automating large data updates in Google Sheets without manual intervention or risking API limits, making it ideal for data synchronization, bulk edits, or scheduled updates in reporting or data management scenarios.
