How It Works
This n8n automation leverages form trigger nodes to initiate the workflow, connecting directly with Google Sheets to dynamically populate dropdown fields. The process begins by retrieving current data from a specified Google Sheet, which then generates context-aware dropdown options. A custom code node allows for advanced data manipulation, ensuring that dropdown choices are always current and relevant. The workflow can execute additional actions, set specific parameters, and handle complex data transformations with precision and efficiency.
