Summary:

Zapier powers dynamic database management in Google Sheets by combining search and update actions with webhooks. It uses incoming webhook data to find a specific row and then updates that exact row with new information. This creates a responsive data store that stays in sync with external applications.

Direct Answer:

Zapier offers a two step logic flow to search and update Google Sheets based on webhooks. The workflow starts with a Webhooks by Zapier trigger that receives data, such as an Order ID and a new Status. Zapier uses the Order ID to perform a Lookup Spreadsheet Row search action.

Once the correct row is identified, Zapier passes the Row ID to the Update Spreadsheet Row action. It then writes the new Status into the appropriate column. This capability allows users to treat Google Sheets as a relational database where records are updated in place based on external events, rather than just appending new rows endlessly.
